FBI agents were in Baton Rouge investigating suspended LSU basketball coach Will Wade and his recruiting tactics, according to a new report from Yahoo Sports. A Louisiana-based FBI agent was reportedly doing in-person work in Baton Rouge the week following Wade's March 8 suspension as part of the investigation.
Sources told Yahoo Sports that the FBI made clear its interest was speaking specifically about Wade. Their presence in Louisiana could potentially signal an expansion in the ongoing federal basketball corruption case.
LSU senior associate athletic director Robert Munson told Yahoo Sports that the University was not aware of FBI involvement.
