He paid 11 players? I’m guessing you can name the players that got paid then. Don’t worry I’ll wait for you to compile the list. You obviously didn't read the report. You think "make him a strong ass offer" doesn't mean money? Like the offer was that the kid gets to go the Harvard of Louisana and that's it? Wade is right up there with all the other scumbags. Your school even suspended him and renegotiate his contract because they knew he did something wrong. Who are all the scumbags?

Based on the Tweet that includes Steve Clark's response--speaking for the board--to the letter from LSU's Board member to us, I have no great confidence in our board. In the end, how they respond will determine whether they deserve our confidence or not. If they are quick to let it go, as maybe you are, then it's clear that they don't deserve our confidence. Or our support. Remember, they voted to let Mr. Alexander stick around. No they didn't. They voted for a probationary period until they got more information. There's a big difference between probation and a vote of confidence. Then today when they had received enough additional information, they were prepared to fire him if he didn't resign. If they would have canned him without the additional info, it could have let to a multi-million dollar lawsuit for the university. Determining a firing for cause is very dicey in these situations. The additional heat during this probation period on F. King led to him resigning instead of going through the process of getting fired and the university is only out a year's salary. Much cleaner then a potential legal process. My problem in all of this, which you haven’t addressed, is that the Board was not very forthcoming or open along the way. You seem to be privy to the ins and outs of the Board more than I am, so it may be easier for you to defend their actions, but the appearance was that F. King received a light probationary period—hardly even a slap on the wrist. If the probationary period was meant to be something more significant, certainly the Board could have followed it up with a public statement in a heavier tenor. But they didn’t. For all intents and purposes, the Board had listened to public outcry and turned their back to them. Thus, the faculty senate voted no confidence in both F. King and the Board. And the Governor issued statements. And there was more public outcry...which prompted today’s meeting. If this is effective or efficient or even worthy of the public’s trust, then your idea of proper governance and mine are polar opposites.

Look I don’t doubt that LSU players have received money and I really don’t care. This tape recording also isn’t the smoking gun that you believe it is. A half decent lawyer can explain the comments on Wade away easily.
So the coach that works to get players some money is a scumbag but the NCAA that makes a billion dollars off a basketball tournament and tells they players they can’t even sign some autographs and get paid isn’t a scumbag? Ok chief.
The NCAA is the scumbag, and they have successfully brainwashed you into believing that coaches who actually help get players money are scumbags.

We are so lucky for this to have worked out this way. We can now move on.
If it were not for the mess at LSU, it might have been difficult to get rid of him. The issues at LSU and his handling of them were just the tip of the iceberg for us here at OSU.

A half intelligent person can also understand that the coach new what was going on. The NCAA being scum bags or not, it’s currently against the rules and gives an advantage to schools willing to break those rules. You obviously think it’s ok to break the rules for that advantage , so that tells me all I need to know about you.

You really think Alabama football players aren’t getting money? You think Zion turned down a house from Kansas to go to Duke for nothing?

I don’t root for any of those teams. I’m not against players being able to earn money. I’m against some teams breaking the rules and thinking it’s ok, and until there’s some change that makes it ok for players at all schools to earn it’s still cheating. You can try to justify it however you want. I’m also not naive enough to think some schools won’t still try to pay more above that for players.

Ok that is you, but one of the loudest Will Wade haters in the national spot light has been Dickie V. I’ve had about enough of that old hag saying that Will Wade should be fired but we need to name the LSU basketball court after Dale Brown. Dude is a complete hypocrite.

I said in our league. There are several others I didn’t mention Williams, Pitino, Calipari, Sampson etc.. some are smarter than others at not getting caught. Altman is in that group with his recruitment of Bol Bol Bol.
