LSU will be led by interim coach Kevin Nickelberry, who stepped into the role yesterday after Wade and assistant coach Bill Armstrong were fired.
Wade was cited for five Level 1 violations, including but not limited to allegedly paying a recruiter for influence over a player's decision to play at LSU, making payments through an account in his wife's name, sending money to a former player's fiancee to keep her quiet about the Wade paying players to play for the Tigers, and much more.
