Former LSU and current McNeese State head coach Will Wade was given a two-year show-cause order and a 10-game suspension for three Level I violations, the Independent Accountability Resolution Process announced Thursday.
Wade was found to have made impermissible payments to the former fiancée of a player, while also failing to cooperate in an investigation and failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance.
LSU football was hit with one Level I violation for failing to monitor a representative of athletics interests, which resulted in impossible benefits paid to the father of a former player. The football program and men’s basketball program each received a Level II violation for failure to monitor.
