80's Kentucky the "Bills for Mills" era was the worst I've seen in the SEC.
Overall. NOTHING will ever top SMU.
Fixed salaries to players
Involved everyone from the asst coaches to the frickin governor of Texas.
So bad it lead to the dissolution of the SWC.
Now, there was the old death penalty which was an option for any infraction. That doesn't exist anymore.
In 1985 the NCAA instituted the "Repeat Violator Rule" that we call the death penalty. It says if you have major infractions leveed and within a 5 year window you have another major infractions penalty, you are eligible for the death penalty. I don't think LSU falls under this unless the football and basketball are being treated as two seperate entities and are being investigated by two seperate organizations tied to the NCAA. Its hard to say but I dont think so but either way they would have to fall under REPEAT violator.
This notion that the NCAA can just hand down a death penalty is just not true. Its an NCAA Bylaw that you have to be a repeat violator.
With all that said, there will never be another death penalty.

We were a repeat violator in 89 (based on an accusation that was never proven) but the NCAA didn't do anything.
Bama got lucky in the early 00s though.

Yeah, I guess it's possible.
I don't imagine the NCAA will care too much about LSU waiting to make sure they could fire Wade with cause. Too many hypocritical coaches and mouthpieces crying for blood. Probably 1-2 years postseason ban and a handful of scholarships.
Pay Forde won't let it go though. LSU will probably have to threaten to sue him for libel.

I don't see what the big deal is tbh. He wasn't even that effective at it. As for the 2019 football stuff.... please. NCAA is the biggest joke and best example of blatant hypocrisy that i can think of.

North Carolina got nothing for fake classes, fake degrees
Because they demonstrated that the classes were not just for athletes. Was will wade making strong arse offers to random kids to come the lsu?

I guess they could vacate that, if Cal, Dickhead V, and Forde really get to bitching.
I dont think you'll see Cal leading the charge to vacate somebody else's wins.

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.
Pretty much every high level administrator who was there when all this went down is not at LSU anymore… New AD in 2019 and new President in 2021. Multiple changes with other administrators have followed as well.

I think it would be tough to find scandal with a dumber person at the center of it. Some may call it sloppy or arrogant. But, it was just fricking plain stupid.
Yeah. That pretty well sums it up. This is one of those scandals were you have to work at getting caught. Given that it is an SEC team I expect the NCAA will dish out a fairly stern penalty (while ignoring similar scandals in the ACC and Big 10). I don't think its going to be an LSU has to wander in the desert for 40 years type punishment but it will probably sting in the short term.
