re: Now that the dust has settled…where does this Wade scandal rank

I like LSU, I have friends and distant relatives in the BR area; so this hurts me more than the casual poster.

What a lot are missing is the school administration still in place has much of the responsibility. They either knew and turned a deaf-ear not wanting to know what was going on or are so incompetent they were clueless about what was happening. As with Truman, the president of LSU has the responsibility of the program on his shoulders—“the buck stops here”, as Truman said. The administration needs firing just as much as Wade.

I’m not optimistic about what is going to happen. NCAA having turned it over to a new agency to adjudicate does not bode well for LSU. Unlike, NCAA, the new agency’s decisions are final, no appeal permitted. My fear is they are going to make an example of LSU that says the NCAA is back and in business. I figure LSU will get hammered in light of the fact that this continued up through at least 2020 even though it was known earlier what was going on (The Scheme” on HBO). Lack of Institutional Control charge should be a clue things aren’t going to go well since it applied to multiple athletic programs and is an indictment of the LSU administration itself.

I just don’t get the continued denial of some of the LSU posters on here. Either they know but are still are in denial hoping the NCAA will not see the worst or they think they will get away with what has gone on in the football and basketball program, which isn’t going to happen. They are the true melts when the decision comes down.
