This time last year, while attempting to sell his team as underrated, LSU coach Will Wade told SI, “Well, the truth is, a lot of those people don’t like me too much” referencing media pundits and AP voters.
The culmination of the source of the disdain came last Saturday when Wade was fired surrounding an NCAA notice of allegations that include eight Level I violations, seven of which are directly tied to the men’s basketball program, according to multiple reports.
In the allegations, Wade was accused of everything from arranging to outright offering impermissible payments to elite hoops prospects, parents and coaches, among other things.
