I don't disagree at all. Its definitely widespread. Somewhere, somehow, this house of cards has got to come tumbling down, or there will never be a level playing field again, and we might as well give up collegiate sports completely.

Yes this has been occurring widespread throughout the sport . . . The difference is LSU got caught and was caught on tape. That is a big difference.

Honestly I wouldn’t care if this was Missouri or ole miss . . . But it’s LSU, so I’m going to savor every moment. Now if only that fbi investigation spread to football . . . .

I hope Alleva goes! Can't stand him, makes my skin crawl. I hope they get a decent AD and we can resume H2H in all sports but Football (only a few teams are worth a 2-1 or more, they aren't one of those teams).

I hope Alleva goes and that we resume an open ended H/H as we had for 90 years . If GT and Ga can do it after GT bolted the SEC there is nothing blocking a resumption other said Alleva....

Agree. LSU fans can gaslight all they want by saying it happens everywhere. The difference is they got caught. We had to hear them cry all Football season how Alabama pays off the SEC, cheats in recruiting, etc and now they get caught cheating in basketball and they can’t own up to it. If Saban got caught pulling a Wade, LSU fans would have pitchforks in hand. Their season is done. All wins will be vacated at some point. The kids aren’t victims either. It’s not like they are being sent off to fight in a war. Don’t like the rules. Take your chances or go play in Europe. Tired of hearing BS excuses.

Wade $$$ brought in a #3 class. Without that he doesn’t win the SEC. I saw a sports show saying there’s another tape even more incriminating.

Is it possible they can still look the other way now ? It is hilarious and laughable what will wades defense has been (as presented in the article).

Paraphrasing:
Reporter: “ Will Wade, the fbi has a tape of you Discussing providing illegal payments And “Strong ass offers” to college athletes, what do you have to say for yourself ?!”

Will Wade: “ I haven’t heard the tapes so I can’t comment on this”.

It’s so stupid it’s almost genius

But will it have an affect on recruiting and the team? Last year he finished the season suspended, but it didn't seem to affect them much at all.

There’s no way he can’t get the axe . . . Right ? That would hurt the team and recruiting. The ncaa has a target on its back but they have to do something extreme as a punishment. . . Right ? In this crazy world nothing is a given.

Dick Vitale and the latest on LSU’s Will Wade. COVID-19 has “stepped on” this story together with all other news for the last 2 weeks. But, the pandemic has to end sometime?

Par for the course. LSU can cheat and get away with it. Seems like the SEC schools know that and are immune to big punishment unless they rat on each other. I’d be shocked if the NCAA comes down with the hammer on this.

Pretty sure (not gonna look it up) that Tennessee got in trouble and Bruce Pearl had a "show-cause" for a couple of years.

LSU is the perfect school for the NCAA to come down on; a known "Sports Factory" but not a basketball blueblood Kentucky, Kansa, Duke, or Carolina.

The LSU AD is talking tough but I'll bet he's already started a quiet coaching search.
God Bless Everyone!

There was complicity from the administration At the very least after doing nothing last year. What a beacon of morality and higher learning. I hope criminal charges are brought, I hope it’s shown that there was a culture of cheating with the administration complicit, and the entire athletic department is napalmed. A guy can dream


Alum’s should be able to turn their LSU degrees in for a foam finger or a national championship hat as that’s what it’s worth.

ESPN’s take on Will Wade and HBO documentary. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.c ... atform=amp And, for the HBO documentary Dawkins commends Wade for getting away with it so far and as such being a real “gangsta.” :clap:

And, one can only wonder if LSU’s “loyalty” to Wade could result from Wade “knowing where the bodies are buried” on a whole lot of things for Tiggger athletics?🤔
