LE I have known you for 15 years on here. I finally figured out who Glen Gilbeau is.

Why? In any situation where an employee may have violated company policy, committed a serious offense or put the organization or others at risk, the employer has a right and duty to question that employee. This is no different.
This occurs all the time.
Why some seem more concerned about Will Wade than LSU is beyond me. If Wade ends up getting LSU places on probation are all of his defenders going to still love him? Not me.

It depends. Are you talking about a year, maybe 2 with 2 or three scholarships lost total and vacated wins? I would sign up for that all day in exchange for a chance to experience this team make a final four run.
However, if we were to get slapped with lack of institutional control, then I think you're talking more like 5 years and losing 2 scholarships every year. Hannagrif compared it to the Lester Earl situation and said lack of institutional control would make that look like a parking ticket. It could cripple our program to the point that we not be competitive for 6-8 years. I don't want something like that.

We haven’t been competitive in 6-8 years anyways. Who cares. Now we’re going to be non competitive AND screwed over this season. I can assure you once we fire wade we won’t get anyone close to him and would be back to the wilderness anyways

Because Wade IS the program.
Without him, LSU has won exactly 1 NCAA tournament game in the last 13 years. Without him, LSU can barely reach .500 in SEC play. Without him, LSU is 2-16 in SEC play 2 years ago.
Why is everyone so concerned about Probation and NCAA sanctions?? LSU has been on probation for the past 12 years!!!!!! lol

I’m actually more concerned about LSU than Wade. I still think LSU had handled this as poorly as they possibly could.

I care. I don't want to go through another long stretch like that. Plus, IMO if it comes down like that then the NCAA might be interested in looking into football as well and absolutely don't want that.

Wade is the best coach this program has ever had and will ever have.
Is he? Other coaches have taken this school to a final four. Were they clean? Who knows? I have my suspicions, but none of those coaches were caught on tape.

All LSU has done is bring a bigger and worse media spotlight to LSU.
Pretty sure WW accomplished that on its own. It was not Alleva on the transcript talking to Dawkins. The Yahoo article put LSU in the negative spotlight and brought the media scourge with it. The suspension, if anything, has reduced media coverage, outside of TD anyway.

Hopefully, everyone who purports to love LSU. For some of us the win at all costs and rules are for losers attitude is not worth it.
Does everyone cheat? Most likely. But once the cheating sees the light of day action has to be taken. Everyone involved, even WW, knows this.

We have made the tournament once in the last 9 years. We weren’t under any sanctions then, so what’s the difference?

Humor me this. What self respecting coach is going to come here knowing that all it takes is one internet article to have our administration throwing them under the bus?

“ never should’ve call for the meeting to begin with”
This is been my problem the whole time. LSU should have never called for a meeting with someone who has been notified of the intent of a subpoena. You are told to never discuss your testimony with anyone prior to giving it. Here we have LSU demanding that he come before the board of supervisors, LSU personnel, and the NCAA to discussed the testimony he is it to provide.
Much of this has been silly, uncalled for, and a pure example of The administration messing up once again. They could have easily set this meeting for after the final game of the year.
I know LSU must have some smart people somewhere in their decision making process. How they could have chosen to handle this I. This way makes no sense to me. Other than Wade must’ve really pissed off someone in power.

I really don't understand why people keep saying this. There's absolutely no way that Wade is going to be fired, absent new incriminating info.

They supported him after the first one and he was allowed to coach. I believe that Wade told Alleva that nothing more would come out. Then, the 2nd report came out and Wade was asked to come in to talk about it. He refused and I completely understand why he did so. But, if you're LSU's administration, how do you know if that was the last report? That's where I understand why they needed to suspend him.

Every single statement from LSU pushes wade further and further away and pours gasoline on the fire. Rather than shutting the hell up the administration makes things worse. Rather than showing support at arms length they accuse him of being guilty

The suspension has nothing to do with it. The constant leaks and the implication of wades guilt to the boot licking media is the problem. As I said in a previous post you can “suspend him for his sake” stating that you will suspend him continue to pay him to allow him to focus on the trial to clear his name and expect him back as soon as he’s able to make public his side at trial.
With the way they’ve handled it no one wants to work for an administration that is going to pull what they’ve pulled

The PR behind the suspension has not been good all.

Probably talking about this ...

“#LSU says difference between Will Wade and Javonte Smart - Wade is an employee of the university, Smart is not. Smart cooperated fully, Wade has not. And an illegal offer, whether it's accepted or not, is an NCAA violation.”
This is terrible.

What lunatik posted and this

"Coach Will Wade has yet to deny any wrongdoing to us or publicly," Skinner said.
Their statement on smart which should be a happy statement also threw indirectly some shade at wade. Petty and unnecessary.

And yes, I'm saying we have to "play the game"... It is what college basketball is and has been for a very long time. If you want to be squeaky clean then you must like going 2-16 in the SEC. Not me.
