Will Wade, the men’s college basketball coach recently hired by McNeese State, has been suspended for 10 games next season, bringing to a close a lengthy N.C.A.A. investigation into the football and basketball programs at Louisiana State, the Southeastern Conference powerhouse Wade formerly coached.
A review panel on Thursday ruled that L.S.U. failed to monitor its marquee programs, which were found to have improperly funneled payments to a recruit, paid hush money to keep recruiting violations quiet and allowed the N.F.L. star Odell Beckham Jr., a former L.S.U. wide receiver, to hand out wads of cash to players after the national championship football game in January 2020.
