I know there is another thread speaking on the investigation but this is pretty meaty and damning if true...

Yeah all depends on what the “received information” means. It can’t be that conclusive or they wouldn’t be so bent out of shape over trying to get his phone records.

But it’s not great.

quote:

The NCAA says LSU men's basketball coach Will Wade either arranged for or offered "impermissible payments" to at least 11 potential recruits or others around them, according to documents obtained Wednesday by ESPN.

The documents say the NCAA's enforcement staff received information that Wade "arranged for, offered and/or provided impermissible payments, including cash payments, to at least 11 men's basketball prospective student-athletes, their family members, individuals associated with the prospects and/or nonscholastic coaches in exchange for the prospects' enrollment at LSU."

The allegations were included in the NCAA enforcement staff's request that its infractions case involving the LSU men's basketball program be adjudicated through the Independent Accountability Resolution Process, which was created to handle complex cases.

In a July 15 letter, NCAA vice president of enforcement Jonathan Duncan wrote that the case satisfies at least five of the seven factors for referring the case to the IARP.

"Many of those factors are triggered by the actions of Will Wade, head men's basketball coach at Louisiana State University," Duncan wrote. "Some of his underlying actions gave rise to this case and his tactics during the investigation have delayed resolution dramatically. He is employed in a leadership position at LSU, yet the institution has been unable to secure his full cooperation and is accountable for his behavior."

It goes on to talk about the HBO documentary and nothing we didn't already know.

I'm sure he did, but the NCAA would then have to punish Duke for Zion which we all know wont happen. I hope Wade tears the whole NCAA down with him IF he gets canned

Alert me when Wade did something extraordinarily beyond what all coaches in the sport do.

i love how we are still going to act as if Wade is some rogue coach playing by his own rules. Bruce Pearl did the same stuff, and is coaching again with great success at Auburn. Duke paid Zion, with proof in sworn testimony.

But yet here we are with yet another crusade against Wade and an easy power 5 non traditional basketball power to exploit. so the toothless ncaa can act like they can do anything to curb the toxic underbelly of AAU basketball
