Governor John Bel Edwards says he’s “not prepared” to echo calls from former Board of Regents Chairman Richard Lipsey for LSU President F. King Alexander and Athletic Director JOe Alleva to be fired for their handling of Will Wade and other sensitive topics. Edwards says Wade’s recruiting scandal has cast a shadow over the basketball season.
Wade is reportedly on an FBI wiretap discussing improper payments to a recruit, potentially freshman Javonte Smart.
Lipsey says the duo should be canned for a series of failures that began with the mishandling of the final months Les Miles as head coach, holistic admissions decision, runs through their handling of Greek life hazing, and recently their decision to suspend Wade, but Edwards says it’s hard to disagree with the call to suspend the head coach…
Wade was suspended after refusing to talk to the administration about the reported FBI wiretap.
One area the governor was prepared to definitively back the administration on was the decision to give football head coach Ed Orgeron a 500,000 dollar raise and a longer contract. Edwards says O is still one of the lowest paid coaches in the SEC, despite his success.

Hidalgo was booked into jail after her child’s death on other warrants at the time, and Hicks says deputies continued their investigation until a toxicology report came back in early March with some disturbing results. Hicks says the report showed the kid had a cocktail of different drugs in her.
When asked why she would pump her infant full of dangerous substances, Hidalgo allegedly told authorities it was to “comfort the child, and make the child comfortable.” Hicks wouldn’t speculate as to exactly what that meant, but did add that Hidalgo had an addiction problem herself.
