LSU fires Will Wade

[Sherman20]

I bet Kelvin Sampson may get offered this job and leverage making his son the HCIW.

LSU is going to get atleast one year postseason ban.

It should be multiple years of a postseason ban for the severity of the infractions. They paid lots of players a lot of money for many years, and LSU chose to look the other way. That’s the extreme definition of a competitive recruiting advantage. It’s not enough that they’re firing him now. Same with Arizona and Kansas.

 

[GreekFreak]

Wow, they are tourney bound w an interim.
What a 3 year saga.

Should have cut their losses and fired him 3 years ago.

 

[CousCuse]

CousCus, that's your best take in weeks

His image is certainly rehabilitated enough for Louisiana, they hired BK as their football coach. All is Rick did was naughty stuff, which they preach hard against but don't really hold it against anybody, the flesh is weak and all that.

They had the coach at Arizona on a phone tap offering money to play, the AD and just about everybody else there must have known about and Arizona got off with virtually nothing. Syracuse didn't lose any wins from that, so we should be thankful to the NCAA.

 

[crv1728]

He’s as crooked too.

Bill Self should be the one paying for Kansas's violations

The picture of Kansas painted in court is the one that has been painted privately in the sport for years, and the players aren't the ones who should miss time as a result.

Three plus years later………

Will Wade is such a lying, cheating scumbag. He should get a 20-year show cause penalty from the NCAA. I never want to see him coaching college basketball ever again. LSU also needs to get hammered. Multi-year post-season ban. That job needs to be radioactive for several years. They need to be punished. They looked the other way for years.

Their entire athletic program is dirty. Both major programs under NCAA investigation. Scumbag Kelly is right where he belongs.

Unreal how long it took to dump this loser

It’s the Murican Way to let serial cheaters hang around ages longer than any sane person would think they’d be allowed to.

Just a guy out proving his innocence

The Ted Bundy of College Basketball

The best part about this is that it will preclude that cheating POS from getting another job.

Sure, he may be able to eventually land somewhere, perhaps at a lower level, but he won't be able to get away scot free. And there will likely be "show cause" riders attached to him moving forward.

He was just hired by Liberty. Jesus has forgiven Wades Junk

LOL!

Really? Not seeing news stories about that anywhere.

Fake news

 

[longtimefan]

Schnikies. That’s some pretty dumb stuff. You get blackmailed, and then continue to give the blackmailer more leverage by putting more damning stuff in texts? Ooof. Everyone knows you don’t text or email. You make dirty deals in person, on the golf course, away from observation and covert listening devices.

If you've ever seen "The Conversation", you know that you are never safe from listening devices. And that was based upon the technology that was available 50 years ago.

Stupid and awful thing to say.
That screams the Baylor assistant everyone has been talking about.

They wanted to wait until they could legally do it for free. See: Kevin Ollie

True; if you're going to cheat, there should at least be strippers involved.

Freezes quote was better than that. He said, "Only Jesus can handle my junk".

I bet he has been very penitent while coaching at Iona.

You guys are so silly with the “big time sanctions” nonsense. Who’s the last hoops program to have any more than a 1 year self imposed post season ban. Louisville? Nope, Auburn, nope, Memphis, nope, Syracuse, nope. Do you guys even follow basketball? Syracuse had 13 violations and got nothing.


I might have to register and reply to explain the difference.

Arizona didn’t skate on anything. The NCAA has served them a notice of allegations. They will eventually get hammered for lack of institutional control, with a post season ban and other sanctions.

I’ll be shocked if they can get anyone good. They are eventually gonna get hammered, probably later this year, and the next coach is gonna have an albatross of sanctions and post season bans to deal with.

L$U will get somebody solid. It just means they will have to pay more. SEC money will get them a candidate.
They won’t get more 1 postseason ban. They may get what we got and lose 10 scholarships over 4 years.

Why the feds did not charge wade with conspiracy or as an accomplice is interesting question. Maybe because the feds entire theory is based on fraud against the school. Wade will have to plead the fifth on the stand, if called.

Why wasn't UNC hit with accreditation and other issues by the state of North Carolina and other accrediting bodies?

 

[sufandu]

We might want to look at guys who enter the portal.

Other thing is how attractive of a job is it now? Got to imagine their compliance department will want things done by the book for the next coach, right.

By the book? Nah. Just smarter cheating.
