LSU TIGERS
LSU reinstated suspended coach Will Wade on Sunday night, just before the new season of Game of Thrones started in what is one of the greatest news dumps of all time.
Still, it took the college basketball world by storm. LSU fans rejoiced that their coach had been freed, but elsewhere, there wasn’t as much joy.
In fact, in a lot of other corners of the college basketball world, confusion was the main emotion. That’s understandable, since nothing new has broken regarding the FBI investigation into Wade and the Tigers.
Either way, he’s back. Here’s what non-LSU fans had to say about the Tigers’ decision:
Have ZERO respect for LSU now

Of course they did, they always do the opposite of what an honest program would

If all Will Wade needed to do was meet with LSU and the NCAA and deny, why didn't he do it five weeks ago?

If LSU and Will Wade get away with this, I may stop watching college basketball. @NCAA

Will Wade reinstated just for denying his own voice on wiretap? LOL. Someone hire me. Let’s get paid together, and I’ll just lie if we’re caught

LSU: Just answer a question.
Will Wade: My lawyer said…
LSU: Just say you didn’t do it, dude.
Will Wade: I didn’t do it, dude.
LSU: YOU ARE BACK, BABY

LSU’s administration is just “kicking the can down the road.” If the FBI has the recorded evidence it is just a matter of time before Will Wade is arrested, and then the wrath of the NCAA will land on Baton Rouge.
Wade is not facing any criminal charges at this point.
Just to elaborate a little, he is being subpoenaed as a defense witness and the FBI has filed a motion that he NOT testify.
If they can him now, they’re facing a long and expensive legal battle over his buyout. LSU has to rely on the NCAA findings or his admission of guilt. Petino survived after multiple sickening scandals. He wasn’t fired until the FBI stuff happened and is still suing Louisville for $37 million.
WATCH THIS:
‘I don’t care… you do you, and I will mind my own business…’
Sorry folks…ever hear of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?
That’s why Caliparrot is still coaching.
This will definitely hurt recruiting the AAU coaches won’t give him the time of day because they will never know if someone is listening in on their “conversations”
Contractually it’s true LSU probably had to reinstate Wade while this whole melodrama plays out. All teams walk that line-most never get caught. He did. If he’s coaching next season I’d be shocked.
