As of yesterday morning there was no investigation, no NCAA in town, Blah, blah. blah. Its been quite funny


Well, the truth is that there still isn't a formal NCAA investigation, so that part is accurate. Not sure I've seen masses of LSU fans saying the NCAA wasn't involved at all when it's clear since last Friday they have been assisting LSU with its investigation of Smart.

Smarts mother herself said he was cleared by the NCAA. LSU would have never moved forward without the ok from NCAA.


This isn't exactly true......

"LSU has cleared freshman Javonte Smart for today’s game against the University of Florida in the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament.


quote:

Though the inquiry is not closed, after multiple additional interviews, there has been no wrongdoing identified to date. As a result, and because of his full cooperation and transparency in this matter, Smart has been cleared by university officials for play on Friday.”



LSU cleared him.....not the NCAA

NCAA never formally announces anything about ongoing investigations.

Doesn't really matter though because LSU compliance always gives the NCAA the bat signal while jumping right into their own investigation.

It’s pretty clear what’s happening now

LSU has managed to escape any possible vacating of wins. That’s 100% clear

Now, with a full squad, we likely make a final four run

Wade likely won’t have to testify in the April trial. Wade will also be let off the hook. He will come back to LSU after LSU fires alleva

Going forward, LSU has an sec title, a final four season, will wade, and no Alleva

From that same article you linked:
quote:

Smart was held out of the regular season finale against Vanderbilt out of an abundance of caution in cooperation with the NCAA


quote:

Smart, as well as his mother Melinda, have been interviewed by LSU and NCAA investigators regarding last Thursday’s reports that allege Smart was compensated for coming to LSU.

It does not get any more clear than that.


ETA btw, that is one of your sites quoting LSU's statement.

This is so delicious. I know some of it is tongue in cheek, but it perfectly represents the bubbling hope and belief of LSU fans

Why don’t you keep asking for links about the ncaa being present already?

Per press releases, Smart has cooperated with the investigation to date, however, THE INVESTIGATION IS NOT CLOSEDwith Smart.

So, yes, he was cleared to play by the LSU AD, but it is a risky move in lieu of the facts still to come of the investigation. Especially when they talk to his guardian and
"handlers" involved. I'm sure they are getting coached very well at this point on where to hide things, and what to say.
