Sunday will go down as one of the greatest sports days of all time, with Tiger Woods winning his first Masters in 14 years. The day also marked the return of Will Wade as LSU’s basketball coach. The university released a statement Sunday night saying that Wade has been reinstated after he answered all questions and denied any wrongdoing in connection with recently reported allegations of irregularities in college basketball recruiting. Alleva also says the coach’s explanations and clarifications offered during the meeting, absent actual evidence of misconduct, satisfy his contractual obligation.
Will Wade released his own statement that said he’s humbled and grateful to be back at LSU.
