What are the chances of LSU sitting out the SEC tournament?

Zero, but there's a great chance that they show up without Smart, Reid, and whoever else they're worried about.

There's an even greater chance that they come out and lay a massive egg. They've been built all along to look amazing and then collapse in the first or second round of the tournament, that's just what LSU does, but now they have their built-in excuse.

This an outstanding post. One of the best I’ve seen. Pretty much exactly how I feel.

Same, and if I weren't literally raised on this stuff, the only thing I'd probably care about is the tournament. It's why college basketball is basically a one month sport. The NCAA Tournament is and will remain the greatest event in sports regardless of all this corrupt, extraneous crap, because it's blatantly obvious that when it gets to that point, the kids care. The tournament still gives us things we've never seen before, a la Virginia getting beat last year. The sheer size and spectacle of the thing is unlike anything else, and will always draw fans.

The entire season being vacated is looming for LSU. I wonder if they try to get out in front of this any more than just doing to Wade what they've done. I doubt it. They'll still want the exposure to the SECT and NCAAT and let them do what they ultimately will to them once it is all said and done.

But I would think they are going to have the whole season go down the crapper because of all the shady crap going on there.

Let them burn. Got caught cheating bigtime. Flame them out.

I agree. Any of the recruits wearing a red sash from the dirty dealings will be held out.

Good on LSU’s administration for actually having some integrity and suspending this little worm. A lot of other programs would have let it play out which in all honesty I wouldn’t have blamed them for doing based on how the ncaa has been so hypocritical with how they’ve handled things in the past. The ncaa is at fault for a lot of the crap that goes on in the world of college basketball by not cleaning up the messes other programs have made and gotten away with

great post. at the end of the day the ncaa doesn’t enforce much of anything and it’ll be up to the universities themselves. universities like the university of north carolina at chapel hill.

Why do I keep thinking that in the old days there would have been a call from the commissioner of the conference to the head of officials(referees). LSU would be playing walk-ons 2 minutes into the second half against Vanderbilt because all the rest of LSU's players would have fouled out.

I guess they can pretend they don’t know who he is talking about and let him play, but doesn’t everyone really know who he is talking about on the tape?

By the way, LSU is stupid for doing this. It's like they haven't been paying attention. The NCAA isn't going to go easy on you for admitting your guilt. Your only hope (and it's a good one, because they'll fold if you challenge them) is to lawyer up and deny.

It's a conundrum for me. I want to see some of these schools succeed in recruiting, on the court etc for the sake of the conference, but know it rarely comes clean unless you're already a blue blood and the school recruits itself.

Making a mistake LSU. Should continue to deny deny deny.

The only motivation they have at this point is saving a hint of embarrassment toward the football team. LSU basketball is gonna go doormat and really doesn’t even need the NCAA to rule against them because the punishment handed by LSU themselves will resemble its own form of death penalty.

Why fight when you just want it to go away and couldn’t care less about the sport effected?

This is why UNC did what little bit they did to the football program. They let them take the fall for basketball.

A lot of good that does us. It's borderline psychotic that we so closely follow something where the only ultimate happiness and success is determined by so many ridiculous variables.

A missed goaltend call that wasn't reviewable yet by a team that will have their entire season vacated might be the difference between being a 1-seed in Louisville or a 2-seed to Duke, who is the odds-on favorite because of a player most of the world believes was bought and paid for too.

LSU just took a strong stance.. can;t imagine they are going to turn around and play Smart. LSU won't make it to the title game. They've been bailed out too many times to even be the 1-seed, as is.. but now, with this?

It's a wrap.

If I was LSU I wouldn’t suspend him. I’d ride it out, and even if he puts you on probation, I’d keep him. In the long run it will work out better.

What’s so sad is this is probably true.

People that think kids wouldn’t play for him again are naive as hell.

Bruce Pearl snitched on a recruit, lied about the infraction, and RECORDED the incident which turned out to be one big hoax perpetrated by Bruce himself because the kid didn’t commit to Illinois. Lol.

At Tennessee he asked, players, families, and coaches, to lie to the NCAA as a means of covering his cheating.

And Bruce has recruited just fine at Auburn.

Oh yea, he’s in trouble again, and I bet if they keep him he will still pull his little share of 20-35 guys at Auburn.

I don’t know why it’s taking so long for people to come to grips with the reality of the day. Modern basketball families are, in large part, just as dirty as the coaches are.

**edit - I say today’s families because I think it’s more widespread. I think most of these families are not of the Chuck Hayes types, recruited through the family with principles. Even the Patterson’s are very few.

They are breathing a sigh of relief,athletes can now use the university water hose and water to wash their cars and get extra cream cheese on their bagels without the NCAA imposing the death penalty.The NCAA is still pissed cause they once beat IU in the NCAA.
