One of the things I would love to see before I die is someone accusing a third party of taking illicit payments on a bulletin board WITH ABSOLUTELY ZERO EVIDENCE OF THE SAME being successfully sued for libel.

One can hope.

Bruh Will Wade (L$U’s coach) was literally suspended last year for recruiting violations using a wiretap. They found he was offering to pay a player. This was an investigation by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). But I guess that’s not good enough for you.

Many murder cases have been successfully prosecuted with no body.....it's called preponderance of evidence. If you think LSU is pulling in all of this 5-star talent legit, especially with their Coach having been TAPED offering money to players, that's your fantasy land to live in. It certainly isn't the real world.

Imagine picking LSU over UCLA for anything other than money.

What kid wouldn't want to be in BatOn' ruuuuge for 8 months.

I agree and let’s not burn our bridges. I know it’s a Dream, as I said earlier, but who knows how things will blow up at LSU? However, as Chief pointed out - the staff already moved on.

Wow and some people wonder why lawyers are largely despised.

 

[upstater]

Is nothing going to happen to Wade and LSU? I mean, this is unreal.

 

[Caronimo]

The fact that LSU, Kansas, Louisville and Zona are still landing elite recruits tells us all we need to know about the future of the NCAA

You can lead a horse to water...

And you're above scenario could only occur in a totalitarian state. Could prob happen in China.

Really strange thing to hope for.

On a side note - Isaiah Jackson committed to Kentucky, does this put us in better position for Cliff, now that he finally see's the writing on the wall? Or with the signing of Javonte Brown Ferguson is he no longer in the fold?

Nope! But hey, they got those dirty rotten cheaters at Georgia Tech! Wendell Carter's stats are stricken from GT's record books! The $2000 strip club and shoes corruption epidemic is now over. College basketball is officially clean! Ladies and Gentlemen, we got em.

Hammer on nailhead. Because they speak uncomfortable truths. (Except for one cesspool colleague in Buffalo but that's another story.)

I would. I couldn't live in Los Angeles. Not sure Baton Rouge would be the choice either though.

As for BL's point, we do tend to overdo it a bit with the allegations. We have no evidence of any wrongdoing in this particular case. However, I find it odd that LSU is suddenly landing very highly rated basketball recruits when they have no history since the Dale Brown era.

 

[bendm]

being recorded discussing "one hell of an offer" to a recruit isnt evidence? unless the recruits scholarship offer was accompanied by a handwritten and scented note from will wade, what else could have made it so amazing?

Bingo. "Move along folks, nothing to see here."

I fully agree with that post. Plenty of reason to accuse Wade of cheating. But just because a coach has a record of cheating is not enough to accuse a player of cheating because he signs with that school. Fair is fair. Even on the internet.

It certainly isn't to the NCAA

 

[Cuse Socks]

I'm not a lawyer but from what I have read Wade has certain defenses such as he can claim that it wasn't him on the phone call, or he could claim that his "hell of an offer" had nothing to do with monetary benefits, but actually the scholarship offer itself.

It's pretty obvious Wade was made aware and encouraged the payment of these guys I just don't know if they have enough to nab him.

but that should be enough to get penalized from the NCAA for "fostering an atmosphere of noncompliance" or whatever the term of art is.

Maybe true but unlike us or ga tech, LSU would deny and fight it like Kansas and Arizona. NCAA probably is thinking there are bigger fish to fry...or the ncaa just doesn't GAF
