Will Wade is officially out as LSU head coach, almost three years to the day after it emerged that he had been caught on an FBI wiretap discussing illegal payments to a recruit.
LSU announced in a statement Saturday that Wade had been terminated for cause, the cause being the NCAA's recent notice of allegations regarding an infractions case dating back to 2017, the year Wade was hired as LSU head coach.
LSU associate head coach Bill Armstrong has also been fired. Assistant coach Kevin Nickelberry will take over as the team's interim head coach.
