Will Wade rumored to be headed to Vandy. That would stink for McNeese, but surely they knew he wasn't going to be there very long.

Money talks, but I think it would take a ton of it to persuade Oats to leave a top 20 program and one of the best in the SEC to take over a program that was 8-24 this year. Oats is 209-95. He may be at a level where the next collegiate step up would be a blue blood program.

"Will Wade rumored to be headed to Vandy."
I have read that internet rumor but I don't believe it for a minute. Wade, A Nashville native - there's the Vndy connection, was a cheating scumbag who got caught and fired by LSU. Sure, what he did then is legal now - paying players. But it demonstrated his willingness to abandon ethics and that's enough for Vandy to pass. I do think he will get another shot at a P5 job, but not in Nashville.

Doing something that every one has been doing, and is now doing legally now? Ethics and college sports don't exist. Also, I'd encourage you to look up what wade has done for some former players in need.

An analogy would be to say that I can smoke dope because someday it will be legal. No, and the premise that "well everybody else is doing it" also does not make it right. Would we like to see Will Wade as the Samford HC? Others may have different viewpoints, but I certainly would be against it. It is sad, but I have to agree with 03 that we have lost so much of the important things in college athletics.

Notwithstanding, people have no ethics, no morales, no impulse control. I read something about these societal wide attributes in Revelations. Lovers of self, lovers of money, laws unto themselves. I see it in the lawyers, and the jurors and the judges with whom I work. My only question is whether we will have basketball in the Millennium Kingdom. I have no question that Christ is soon to return.
