Lulz

I would say (assuming there is any truth to the FBI investigation of Will Wade being ongoing and active) that it's quite interesting.

I applaud OP for beating rival fanbases to the punch on starting a thread. Always a wise move.

Now, if true, this would further lengthen out the time the IARP will take. We've already been told the FBI told the NCAA to stand pat and wait until they are done:

quote:

Duncan explained for the first 20 months or so after the FBI announcement the NCAA was told to stand down from investigating while the government's case took precedent.

LINK

If the FBI has signaled to the NCAA that Wade (or anything pertaining to LSU) is still being investigated then all bets are off for how long this will take to resolve. It's already been 2 years.

Hard to see this coming to any resolution in 2021.

Straight from the horse's mouth that the offer wasn't accepted


from Wade's own mouth was this little tidbit...

he didn’t get enough of the piece of the pie in the deal


oh and by the way, the parents can't take money anymore either. You can thank the Cam Newton case for that

It’s been way longer than that. Will Wade was publicly named in the probe in late 2017. Dawkin’s first trial was in late 2018, and that’s when this wire-tap first came up. The first explosive yahoo article was 2 years ago, but this has been going on since before Wade coached a game at LSU.

Fwiw, I don’t think the FBI is still investigating Will Wade. It really makes no logical sense at this point. The NCAA, sure.

Right so there was no deal made, which is why I said he rejected the offer.

Nice spin

The truth is spin now? Nice.

According to Wade on the wiretap, there was nothing accepted.

I thought you were a fairly bright guy.

That Wade says he didn't receive "enough" of the deal indicates he did in fact receive some.

You also conveniently ignored that it's against ncaa rules now for parents to accept money.

Yes, per the article I linked the FBI made their announcement in September 2017 and then asked the NCAA to stand down -- which they did for the next 20 months or so.

So that would bring us to roughly early summer 2019 and if memory serves Wade's name blew up in October 2019 but the suspension circus wasn't until roughly 2 years ago.

I was mainly speaking to how long the NCAA has been sitting on this. It would be a big deal if the feds aren't done with Wade simply because the NCAA won't complete their work if they have reason to believe the feds aren't done with their investigation.

He literally says that the deal wasn't accepted...

The problem was, I know why he didn’t take it now

Again, he says that there was no deal which means that there was no money to accept. Do you have proof of another deal?

It isn’t true, hence why it’s funny

The FBI even confirmed last time he ran this same exact story it isn’t true. Just think, why would the FBI still be around when their case has been closed for two years?

Are we still talking about Smart? Smart and his parents met with the NCAA in 2019 before the Vanderbilt game, and he was cleared to play. Yes we know it’s illegal to give money to parents. I think what Lunatik is saying is going way over your head for some reason

Does that matter?

I thought the NCAA threw down the hammer on offers, unaccepted or not, assuming they can prove the offer was made.

This isn't contract law.

It does when people say that Wade is a proven cheater.

I know right? Not our father's fbi. Gone are the days of Hoover. Recent fbi faces include that idiot Comey, some slut doing half of upper management, and this guy


I wouldn't worry either.

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."

Yep as I said, more regurgitated stuff from Forde. There's nothing new in this article other than his claim that the FBI is in BR which he admitted that he can't verify.

Not sure what this in reference to?


By the way, nothing stopped Bama from paying parents.

I remember when the FBI interviewed Bob Broadhead at LSU and he secretly recorded the session.

Do you mean when the cross-dressing, high society secret sex party Hoover was running the show?

Our forefathers times were likely much worse, just didn't have social media and 24-7 news coverage to broadcast all of their misdeeds and inadequacies.
