What is LSU thinking...
Will Wade is the head coach at LSU. The question is how is that even possible? How does the NCAA, the SEC, and LSU allow to continue? When the three bodies that should and could put an end that do nothing it's a bad day for integrity. To most of us, basketball is a sport. To the NCAA, SEC, and LSU is a business. It'sO about the money. In the college sports world is always about money. In a telephone call which was recorded by an FBI wiretap, Wade admitted to making an offer to a recruit. “It was a [expletive] hell of a [expletive] offer,” Wade said. “Hell of an offer.”
The first thing that Wade did was lawyer up. Whatever transpired between Wade's attorney and the three amigos is unknown. My best guess is that Wade said he'd sue LSU if they fired him. The Wade phone call is not going away. My best guess is that the NCAA and the SEC will eventually rid themselves of the Wade. In talking with several LSU fans they defend the coach. They believe the phone call never says the Coach offered the recruit any money or anything inappropriate. One said he might be working with the FBI. It is odd how fans make excuses and can justify anything. Of course, we now live in a society where inappropriate behavior is acceptable. The real problem (other than Wade) is that LSU won't fire the coach. LSU is a school where English common law is not the legal basis to follow. The Napoleanic Code is used. LSU won't fire the coach because of money. Morality is not even a consideration.
If LSU wins the SEC Basketball Championship they did so with a cheating coach, a complicit AD, and school President who turns a blind eye. There is no honor in that. I believe eventually that all the wins under Wade will be vacated, championships rescinded, and the Administration will try to publically distance themselves from the situation.
