Report: FBI Investigation Regarding LSU Coach Will Wade Remains Active

by Staff Reporter

March 25, 202167 Comments

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

Sports Illustrated is reporting that the FBI's investigation into LSU head coach Will Wade remains active and that federal agents were recently in Baton Rouge.

quote:
LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette told SI Thursday that the school is unaware of any recent FBI inquiries or presence in Baton Rouge. Attempts to reach Wade’s attorney, Steve Thompson, were unsuccessful. A call to an SDNY spokesman was not immediately returned Thursday.

An NCAA investigation of LSU and Wade also is concurrently active. The NCAA enforcement staff’s case against the Tigers has dovetailed to include football allegations, and the case has been diverted to the association’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process, which was created to handle complex cases. In August 2020, ESPN.com obtained a document from NCAA enforcement asserting 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."

Why would you give Forde’s BS article any attention? He does this crap every March. The investigation has not had any activity in 2 years, the chances it is still active are extremely low. Do not give Forde attention.

They should investigate how these known terrorist threats keep being terrorists instead of college basketball rumors

DVinBR•50 months

time and time again the FBI has shown itself to be useless

Nolaughingmatter•50 months

To say the FBI is useless shows how stupid you are. I guarantee you know 0.0001% or less of what they do.

saint tiger225•50 months

I know they had that Colorado shooter on their radar and didn't do shite about it.

Fbi for a effing college coach regarding possible payments to college athletes. In the future this will be like at as such an overblown issue. Give me a break, this is where Joe Biden needs to open his sleepy arse eyes and stop this nonsense. Kids should get money and the fbi needs to stop this shite because it's making everyone involved have to hide stuff and lie to everyone. EVERYONE IS DOING IT!

Oh damn, we’ll have to vacate our tourney win over St Bonny.

Actually, I'd hate to see any accomplishments vacated, especially NCAA tournament wins.

You need to vacate your balls Wayne and stop acting like a giant Vagina

TommyDaTiger-I'm unimpressed with internet "tough guys," who are usually overcompensating for some deficiency.

Oh look, Pat Forde wrote this exact same article 3 years ago. LINK

Edit: 2 years ago.

If only there was a laptop with documented payments from China for presidential access and a credible witness. Poor FBI just can’t much to do nowadays.

FBI. 100% trustworthy...and now IN COLOR.

Keep fricking will that Gamgsta and see where it gets you

LSU basketball has great history and potential. It doesn't need Will Wade and his sloppy violations. He and the fans that continue to support him will only leave the program crippled with vacated games and sanctions. It's past time to wake up.

ellessuuuu•50 months

Way to be a sheep and buy into a regurgitated article from April 2019.

Wayne_T•50 months

Who cares about the date of the article? Use your brain, ellessuuuu.

ellessuuuu•50 months

My brain is in use, how about yours? The NCAA has had the same evidence today that it had 18 months ago and yet we have not received a NOA. All other schools involved have received allegations. When are the sanctions and vacations of wins coming and what evidence is going to be used for that? By the way the NCAA bylaws don’t allow them to use the “tapes” because the DOJ never released them, instead they were leaked by defense lawyers in the Dawkins. Doesn’t leave much for the NCAA to use. No, the FBI is not still investigating Wade two years after they convicted the target of the entire investigation. Use your brain and explain what evidence exists and when does the NCAA intend to use it.

frick the FBI

Drug cartels. Terrorist cells. Organized crime. Ponzi schemes stealing people's life savings, serial fricking killers and the doucebag FBI wastes it's time and our money on this? Pathetic.

dwright369•50 months

Exactly what I was thinking. No way you can convince me the LSU basketball program warrants FBI attention. Pat Forde, DickieV, and the rest of college basketball media can kiss my arse. I will be embracing the black hat from here on out! I hope we get really good and take on a moniker similar to the "Bad Boys of college b-ball"

Shiftyplus1•50 months

Don't forget sending a dozen agents to inspect a garage oull-rope at a NASCAR site. Because as we all know, white supremacists are the biggest threat facing America.

Pat Forde, didn’t read

CajunBullet•50 months

Naturally Sports Illustrated is the authority on investigations in the U.S. I'm sure this report is as accurate and factual as possible?

monstranceclock76•50 months

Wow, just wow. How many things has the FBI fricked up on? Lets see, 911, mass shooters, , bombings, etc and they are wasting resources going after a college basketball coach?!

luciouslou•50 months

He gone

lsufan79•50 months

Nah, your mother is.

bengalman•50 months

FBI worrying about the wrong things in this country yet again. The definitely need a complete overhaul!
