What is the FBI going to do vs the school? The school didn't break any federal laws? LSU90 is spot on. I'm much more embarrassed by the way the administration is handling the situation than I am by Wade getting "caught". The only positive from this will be it should accelerate Alleva getting fired. He (and that POS Fieldon King) are trying to save face, but they are doing it by throwing the coach under the bus. No decent coach will ever want to come here with them at the helm.
Coach gets caught on tape talking about making “offers” to player. Refuses to talk to the administration about it so they suspend him. Definitely the AD being a shit head.
I mean, you can be a simpleton if you'd like. But this has been going on for a long time. Everybody knows what's going on. It's very easy to at least publicly say "we are doing our due diligence", blah blah blah, etc. But instead you put out an ultimatum the day before you clench the conference that is contrary to what the guy's attorney is telling him. And after you suspend him, instead of saying you are doing it while you investigate you go public with the ultimatum, including the line about the invitation still being open. We are going to get whatever punishment we are going to get. Mizzou showed us that cooperating is stupid. But this administration is all about PR. Wade was dumb and got busted, but yes, the AD is being a shit head. Both can be true.
Yes my simpleton mind would be more mad about the coach actual cheating and getting caught on tape by the FBI than the AD who pretty much had no choice but to suspend him because the coach told him to go pound sand.
The only part that bugs me. He shouldn't be the one on the phone. Agree to disagree. And it's also about HOW the AD is handling the situation....specifically playing it out in the media.
Yeah the media was definitely going to let it go regardless of what Alleva did. And the fact that the issue that bugs you is that he was the one on the phone says enough.
And Alleva is a terrible AD for a lot of reasons, suspending Wade and issuing a press release about it should not be one of them.
Whoa whoa whoa...this is the no-spin zone. Calling Alleva an asshole does not negate Wade being an idiot for getting caught.
If I was an LSU fan I’d have Wade being the one on the phone my #1 issue as well. Get some middlemen for Christ’s sake
No one is defending Wade. As much as everyone will say every school does it (which is true for the most part) he got caught because he was careless. That being said, what jrock and I are talking about is the totally separate issue that Joe Alleva is the worst AD in the country.
She paid $500,000 to get her kids into USC as recruited crew athletes even though they don’t row. Good lord those kids must be dumb.
