After 37 days, almost a week after the NCAA had crowned Virginia its newest basketball champion, LSU reinstated head basketball Coach Will Wade.
Wade was suspended for not meeting with LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva on the advice of his then-attorney, Michael McGovern.
Of course, the reason Alleva wanted to meet with Wade was an FBI probe into college basketball when an alleged wiretap picked up Wade saying he had made a “strong a** offer,’ to a recruit.
It could possibly sound like someone was cheating, but that’s not why he was suspended. He was suspended for refusing to meet with his boss.
