Louisiana Can't Escape the Will Wade Saga

[Cajunrunner]

There’s actually an LSU fan who posted on the thread about Jordy and OLOL

“There has been a poster here that keeps posting LSU and Will Wade being tied to OLOL. He has said it will blow everyones mind.

Every single one of his threads have been whacked.”

His comment has 70+ “upvotes” and 0 “downvotes”. I think there’s definitely some Tiger fans who are smart enough to know things aren’t looking good.

And this comment has almost 50 upvotes and 1 downvote. Almost like Tiger fans know Wade was never capable of putting together a Top 15 team without outright cheating.

“This is why they are trying to roll on Wade. Anybody with any sense would know that wade in a year and a half couldn’t set anything this elaborate up, but by firing him they are going to shift the blame and say they fired the bad apple to cya.”

And here is another whopper:

"Pretty sure WW wouldn’t ask to be reinstated if he knew he was guilty of anything."

LOL...and there are a few other similar ones posted. Gee whiz that is a bunch of truly dumb people over there. I mean, trying to defend/justify his cheating is one thing, but there are a whole of bunch them that actually think that he did nothing wrong.

Could Wade be trying to get fired to salvage a payout on his contract that would not be there if the NCAA shows cause?

I’m almost positive this is going to be very bad for LSU athletics and the university itself. I remember hearing from some high schoolers who were friends with some of Devin White’s relatives that claimed White “worked” at a Waffle House for $25/ hour and never had to show for work. They even said he bought all of his nieces and nephews brand new PS4s. This money was possibly being funneled through the scheme at OLOL.

Now this is all speculation and hearsay, but where there’s smoke...

If the scandal is true, I would expect LSU Basketball to be decimated by this. Any harm to the football program will be temporary. They are a true blue blood in that sport and will climb back to prominence in quick order.
I really hope this story has legs. College sports is so corrupt and I would love to see some big name coaches and programs taken down.

They are in the second tier of NCAA football. Very high in the second tier, but not royalty. They are not immune to severe damage there.

If what they are saying is true....and that is still a big if at this point....than I would disagree with it not having a huge impact on everything lsu.

You know if wade was doing it, so were others, especially FB. And if they are all doing it, very very hard to think that that would not involve the admin.

The wrath that all of that coming down on them would be extremely hard to overcome, and would take a very long time to get back to where they are today.

Agreed: for all of the money they get (don't they have the top 3 budgets in ncaa?) the results have been pretty mediocre.

Now what if OLOL guy was paying players, but coaches and administration honestly didn’t know? Think about the ACT thing for us, was that coach acting in his own?

I’d imagine the NCAA would hand out some sort of penalty for “lack of institutional control”, but not as harsh as if the coach was in on it, or the AD.
