I don’t doubt Kings story (LSU Athletics run the school) but that’s no excuse.

Be a Hero Today.... Adopt a Shelter Pet... The Beatles once sang "Can't Buy Me Love"... I disagree, unconditional Love can be bought, for the nominal adoption fee at your local Pet Shelter !

Yep, I think professionally Alexander is a "deadman walking." And, boy did he "throw LSWho 💩 under the bus," or what! But, he was a captain of the ship and ultimately captains are expected to "go down with the ship," whether they want to or not,

USA Today on LSU & Will Wade like “gravy on rice.” But, will there ever be a “reckoning”? And, just think if on Monday LSWho beats Michigan and advances to the Sweet 16? The attached article expresses the disbelief of most for what is going on for present at classless LSU & the SEC. And, the deeper LSU goes into the tournament the more incredible the Wade mess will become. Just when you thought LSU’s image as a university couldn’t get worse, it is getting even worse. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/c ... 784863001/

Disgusting. Very pleased Dickie V and USA Today are don’t normalizing this crap and are holding LSU’s feet to the fire.

Will the politicians or Louisiana media ever do the same ?

"The King is no more" as of this coming April Fools' Day? :clap: F. King Alexander offers to resign as president of OSU effective April 1st. Looks like this boy is now just negotiating a "buyout" (bronze parachute) in lieu of litigation for whether OSU can fire him for cause?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/inv ... 965847002/

Update - King Resigns (gets $600,000 "pewter parachute") :lol: :

Alexander’s resignation is effective April 1, but he will be on administrative leave until then. His resignation comes with a settlement agreement that will pay him an additional year’s salary, around $600,000. The money will come from OSU’s foundation, as opposed to its general fund.

I really would love to fly some banners over LSU events or maybe a billboard in Br. These clowns have lost institutional control, and it’s actually being enabled. Looks like things are also building for Emmert to Be ousted at the ncaa. Maybe the next president will have balls. At some point force the blue bloods hands. If they break away 1) they wouldn’t participate in the ncaa tourney, which would hurt them and the overall basketball business 2) if they broke away because they punished LSU for these ridiculous crimes what stance is the P5 taking ? Hopefully the national press would skewer them. Im dreaming but I want LSU to get the Death Penalty

Miles' and LSU have imploded two universities yet current LSU "leaders" see no need for any accounting beyond suspending two underlings for 21 and 30 days .

If theNCAA will not impose the Death Penalty the United States Congress needs to step in .
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .

LSU is now one of the most hated athletic programs in the country:

Read this brief very funny article documenting the tweets of many who celebrated Will Wade's corrupt Tiger team's loss on Monday to Michigan. :D :lol: :thumbup: :clap:

Former state Legislator Ron Gomez had a book out about the Cajuns Death Penalty in the 70s......talk about no comparison of what UL got for what they did and this LSU multiple sport crimes of all kinds....same modus operendi.....stall, slap some hands, and institute a new program to prevent the future repeat......no punishment in the end!

SI Reports - Sources: FBI Visits Baton Rouge as Will Wade, LSU Investigation Remains Active.

https://www.si.com/college/2021/03/25/w ... estigation

🤞, but very difficult to fit any of Wade's actions under any federal criminal statute. And, what an embarassment to LSU, Louisiana, & the NCAA - or perhaps not?🤷‍♂️

Jesus sexually harassing a 74 year old that’s even a new low for LSU. We all know coach O knew about all this and did his part to cover it up.

I haven't followed the facts of the LSU case but this woman's testimony is credible and compelling. An investigation needs to happen and appropriate, punitive measures taken.

BTW, this story is mainpage on Sports Illustrated and USA Today websites.

Yes. Very compelling. So sad that this seems to go unpunished.

It’s pretty clear—there is absolutely no moral or ethical compass at LSU. No adult supervision.
