LSU and Wade’s Buyout Scandal

NC State is investigating whether LSU improperly helped Will Wade exit his contract early to avoid paying a $5 million buyout, allegedly by accelerating his departure before April 1st — a move that would’ve slashed his exit cost to $3 million. Wade, who publicly committed to NC State before leaving abruptly after just one season, signed a $4 million buyout deal with NC State and was hired by LSU the very next day. The timing raises eyebrows, especially since Wade’s new LSU deal is worth over $17 million. NC State rejected LSU’s settlement offer and now probes whether LSU interfered with contract timing to minimize financial loss — all while Wade’s brief tenure at NC State led the team to the NCAA First Four.
