Louisiana Can't Escape the Will Wade Saga

[31Ragin97]

Some of you all are giving Louisiana State U way too much credit in expecting them to do the right thing.

seems more important if ncaa does the right thing? i dont ever expect LaSt do the right thing.

But Willy had also denied wrong doing back in Oct, and had told them that there was nothing more to come out about the issue, which was clearly a lie.....there is your cause to fire right there.

Again zero evidence he’s lied. How they get the evidence seems difficult as they may seal the evidence. Remember it’s the FBI justice department that was fighting the defense about getting lil Wade testimony.

The ncaa will never be able to get the alleged tapes, or transcripts. Unless things change he’s beaten the system. Here’s our problem, we’re clearly not getting tip top lawyers, and clumsy coaches when it comes to cheating.

Integrity in the college sports world including legal system and ncaa is like Elvis. They have left the building.

Keep in mind this is an FBI case in federal court. They don't play around. Nobody is buying off anything at this level and Wade was just supposed to testify. It isn't uncommon for deals to be made as a trial nears. I'm sure that is exactly what has happened and as such his testimony isn't needed. Now that doesn't mean that they couldn't come after him directly and they might just do that.

As far as why Wade was reinstated... That appears to be nothing but a legal issue. He was suspended for refusing to meet with his boss. Now that he has meet with his boss he has "fulfilled his contractual requirement". Doesn't mean that LSU won't turn around and terminate him for cause. I'm pretty certain that is exactly what is going to happen.

The NCAA is just getting started and were present at the meeting between Wade and LSU. While it isn't a court of law the NCAA carries a big stick and refusing to cooperate with an investigation will get you tossed out of college coaching in a hurry.

I agree. I'm more curious to see what happens with the NCAA.

Without the tapes very little evidence of Wade wrongdoing. The NCAA and LSU already cleared Smart to play after talking to him and parents.

Per the Bleacher Report, testimony from ex-Arizona assistant Book Richardson indicates he had conversation with Will Wade regarding the recruitment of Naz Reid. On tape he says Wade offered him a job to land Reid and had $300k to get it done....for specific excerpts from Richardson’s testimony, refer to today’s Bleacher Report as per Yahoo’s Dan Wetzel. Supporters in Refineryville despise this guy...and the thunderous beat goes on...

State has Wade over a barrel now. Contract was reworked, Wade made concessions to State, even a clear termination clause.

Just keep the popcorn warm.

his name being “book” didnt raise any flags? how about first second of job interview, “so why do they call you book”

...i see wade didnt hire him, wade didnt even want to save money, perfect baton rouge mindset

Is this hearsay? This guy is testifying to a conversation he had with Wade telling him this happened?

So we've got Wade on tape admitting he has 300K to land Naz? Or we’ve got this guy making such an allegation?

Again how does the NCAA get this alleged evidence?
