The NCAA's notice of allegations against LSU not only resulted in the firing of men’s basketball coach Will Wade, but another Tigers program, a notorious coach and NFL star got caught up in the violations as well.
The football team also part of the inquiry, and former coach Ed Orgeron was handed a Level III violation for “impermissible recruiting contact” in January 2019. He allegedly met a prospect in the individual's high school coach's office “prior to July 1 following the prospect's completion of his junior year,” according to the NOA documents.
Orgeron is out of coaching, and a Level III violation is far less significant than the Level I violations that Wade faces.
