    Will Wade interviewed in latest part of ongoing NCAA investigation into LSU: source
    BY WILSON ALEXANDER The Advocate STAFF WRITER PUBLISHED NOV 3, 2021 AT 6:30 PM | UPDATED NOV 3, 2021 AT 6:53 PM'
    LSU men’s basketball coach Will Wade interviewed last week with the Complex Case Unit, a source confirmed to The Advocate, marking the latest step in an NCAA investigation that has dragged on for more than two years.
    Wade’s interview stretched over two days as he answered questions related to the investigation into alleged recruiting violations within the men’s basketball program.
    The Complex Case Unit handles investigations as part of the Independent Accountability Resolution Process, an avenue that LSU’s case entered September 2020.
    At least one additional interview with an LSU assistant coach is scheduled for this week, according to Sports Illustrated, which first reported the interview with Wade.
    The investigation has been extended multiple times this year as the Complex Case Unit conducts additional interviews. The last entry on the IARP’s public case timeline said the chief panel member “issued a resolution of pre-hearing procedural issues” on Sept. 24.
    Once the investigation concludes, LSU likely will receive a notice of allegations that could affect Wade’s future at the school. After wiretaps revealed Wade discussed a “strong-ass offer” for a recruit, LSU altered his contract in 2019 so he could be fired for cause if he is charged with a Level I or Level II violation.
    Entering the IARP process automatically combined investigations into LSU men's basketball and football into one case. LSU has tried to separate them, but the NCAA has denied the requests.

    They have been paying players for a long time. Shack admits it and I have always said, if they ain’t cheating, they ain’t breathing! The SEC west process to stay relevant!

    Jeebus, this case is dragging on. It should be Priority One.

    Scott Woodard AD trying to get the institutional control of program squashed and get double secret probation. Ridiculous!

    Money given out on the field after the National championship game, co-Ed’s filing assault charges nothing done, will wade, say no more, these are just a sampling of the obvious. Hospital given out jobs and money, with the players a no show.
    If any program needs to be put down for a year it is the corndogs. Louisana’s finest University,
    A stellar high academic institution.
    Like Georgia, Alabama, LSU doesn’t care about grades. little wonder we can’t keep up.

    The collegiate game has changed from Amateur to Corporate or (Professional), this applies to football and basketball.

    Cheating is a normal, in fact expected, way to do business in the USA. You are holding on to an illusion if you think there is any enforcement muscle behind this and if there is, the enforcers are the cheaters.

    UF better change its football and basketball business models to a Corporate or Professional model real damn fast (CHEATING) in other words. Either conform to the new dynamic or we (UF) will be languishing in the middle to the bottom of the SEC pack.

    I hate to say it but the bad guys, the cheaters have won. This was clearly demonstrated by the SEC commissioner and University Presidents acceptance of NIL, The Transfer Portal and league expansion.

    The only way to get back in the game is if some UF supporting alumni are willing to come off 10's or even 100's of millions of dollars to get "back" into the game.

    It sucks, but it is, what it is.

    If that is the price I want no part of it.

    UNC sold their academic soul and will pay a price for that eventually.

    UF is actually now ahead of them in the US News and World Report rankings of public universities.

    If you’ve been paying attention to the academic world, UF’s academic standing is likely about to go in the tank as well. Although UNC has had further scandal of their own.

    Well you better take up badminton and crochet because that's EXACTLY what is happening (turned it over to the cheaters and money manipulators).

    We live in a culture that worships acquisition, consolidation, just on time deliveries and maximum profits. The leaders of such entities are rewarded by being put on TV and worshiped as mythological heroes.

    It's absolutely MIND BOGGLING to me that Americans worship this asinine path to "success", basically abusing anyone and everyone
    to the point that wealth concentration is in the hands of .0001 %.
    Then they tell us to "eat cake" while we stand with nothing in a bread line.

    College Football story lines will not be about great athletic contests among academic institutions, rather an avalanche of corruption that will be most obviously expressed in the "Recruiting Game".

    It's not just collegiate sports that is corrupt...If we stopped all the identity fraud or government welfare fraud I think our whole economy would collapse. There is a fair portion of the American population that makes its living by scamming the system so why would college sports shock us.
