You think LSU WANTED to fire Will Wade?

Had they not, they would have gotten way worse sanctions than they DID get. And all unjustified I might add.

The FBI and NCAA subpoenaed Wade to give testimony on tapes of phone calls made by Bill Self, Sean Miller, Roy Williams and others. He was incriminated as discussing 'possible deals' with recruits to LSU. (Which never happened I might add and no 'deals' or 'money' exchanges were ever found, anywhere.)

But guess who was made the scapegoat and had his school suffer for the other 'blue blood school' coaches named above? NOT ANY OF THEM. were punished. Rewarded actually, and Williams retired. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO perish the thought that any of them would suffer. Only Wade was made the scapegoat.

Those rumored "money transfers from the Wade's personal bank account" were nothing but fabrication?

A scapegoat doesn't draft illicit payments from his personal checking account.

This is not correct.

No 'deals' were found because he refused to cooperate.

'Money' was, in fact, exchanged as impermissible cash payments to further buy silence, which was a Level I violation.

Thus you cannot deduce that it never happened, just that he/they failed to produce records, and as he was shown to have committed other violations, he received a show-cause penalty.
