LSU AD Joe Alleva Stepping Down

Does this mean Wade is in trouble with or has been vindicated by the powers that be at LSU? I haven't followed closely enough to know.

Don't think so. The scuttlebutt is that Alleva is being forced out by a faction of people who think Wade shouldn't have been suspended. Alleva's suspension of Wade sounds like the straw that broke the camel's back.

Well, let me also say this...it might actually mean that Wade has been vindicated by the powers that be at LSU, but that should be the least of his concerns given the NCAA is still all over that and Wade (along with Sean Miller) is being subpoenaed to testify in a federal trial starting this coming Monday.

The powers that be at LSU evidently took Wade's side on this deal though. Alleva suspended Wade, which pissed some boosters off. Wade ended up being reinstated, and now Alleva is out.

Hopefully since LSU isn't a blue blood program the NCAA will gut their men's basketball program.

Great news for LSU. If it wasn't for Mike Hamilton, he'd be the worst AD of the last 25 years.

And yet as bamawriter said, LSU hasn't even suffered that much. It's incredible how bad Mike Hamilton was at his job. He messed up everything that he could possibly mess up.

They are targeting our (Texas A&M’s) AD Scott Woodward. Our chancellor, John Sharp, has been meddling with the athletic department behind the scenes. He didn’t want Billy Kennedy fired, even though Buzz Williams has wanted to come for years.

Since the LSU President was who ordered Alleva to suspend Wade in the first place, do they (the LSU versions of Jimmy Haslem) also seek his removal as well?

Couldn't get Jimbo, so they want to get the guy who got Jimbo? :)

If there's an issue with the Chancellor meddling, LSU might get him then. A&M won't pony up the dough to keep him if the Chancellor doesn't like him. If it was just a money thing A&M could/would match any offer.

He will be well compensated. Not sure what AD would go there right now until this stuff with Wade is done...............especially since they brought him back before this trial on the 22nd and he has been subpoenaed to testify at.

Doesn’t have anything to do with money. The chancellor (John sharp) is an ass and doesn’t let the Athletic Director do their job all the time. LSU can’t pay more, and even with their dumpster fire of an athletic department, he’s leaving.

Odds are neither will have to testify in that trial which is why Wade finally agreed to sit down and talk about it. Think about it he can like all he wants if he never has to testify under oath

Cluster created by our Chancellor John Sharp. A Dumbocrat. Didn’t ever even graduate from A&M.

Woodward is a great AD. Hoping we (A&M) get someone good.
