@mckenzielaw @Coach_WillWade Dang, What a sleazy POS Wade is. I would definitely think twice before I allowed my child to play for him. Hopefully he plans to retire from LSU because after the crap he has pulled no reputable school will ever hire him again.

I've read Will Wade's NC State contract. All 22 pages. And I've read The Athletic's reporting on his departure to LSU.
Wade is in breach of his contract. It's not a close call. Here's why.
THE CONTRACT
Wade signed an employment agreement effective March 23, 2025, running through March 31, 2031. NC State paid him $2.5 million in salary, gave him $11 million to build a roster, and invested significant institutional resources in his program.
In return, Wade made specific contractual promises. He broke them.
THE NOTICE AND DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS (Section XIII.A)
This is the critical provision. Wade "specifically promises, not to seek or apply for other men's basketball related employment prior to the natural expiration of the Term of this Agreement, under any circumstances, without first providing written notice to the Director of Athletics."
But it goes further. Wade was also contractually required to "advise in writing the Director of Athletics of any inquiries or contacts exploring COACH's possible interest in or availability for other full-time or part-time employment."
Those are two separate obligations: (1) a duty not to seek other employment without notice, and (2) a duty to disclose any contacts or inquiries. Wade violated both. Continuously. For months.
THE TIMELINE
@TheAthletic reports that discussions about Wade returning to LSU go back to last summer. Sources say "this has all been in the works." The Rousse-Schroyer-Wade trinity — all formerly at McNeese together — was coordinated across months, with Rousse becoming LSU president in November and Schroyer being named senior deputy AD on the same day Wade's deal was announced.
During the ACC Tournament, the N&O's Shelby Swanson (@shelbymswanson) asked Wade directly about LSU interest. He denied it. Corrigan says he asked Wade the same question. Wade said no.
And then there's this: it is rumored — though unconfirmed — that Wade purchased a house in Baton Rouge in February. If true, that would mean Wade was making a seven-figure real estate commitment to relocate to LSU's city while still under contract to NC State, still spending NC State's NIL dollars, and still looking Boo Corrigan in the eye and telling him there was nothing to discuss. If that's confirmed, it's not just a breach. It's a fraud.
That's not just a failure to provide written notice. That's affirmative concealment of exactly the information the contract required him to disclose.
THE DUTY OF LOYALTY (Section II.D)
Wade's contract required him to "faithfully and diligently perform the Duties" and to "devote such time, attention, and skills to the performance of the Duties as necessary to meet the responsibilities of the position."
If Wade was conducting back-channel negotiations with LSU while spending NC State's $11 million in roster-building money and meeting with Corrigan about next season's plans — all while planning to leave — he was not devoting his full time and attention to NC State's program.
After the season, Wade went to Corrigan seeking a raise, more money for assistants, and increased NIL funds. If he was already planning to leave — and the timeline strongly suggests he was — that meeting was theater. He was either using NC State's counteroffer as leverage with LSU, or creating a pretextual record that Corrigan "refused to renegotiate" to justify his departure. Either way, that's not faithful and diligent performance.
THE MISCONDUCT CLAUSE (Section XI.A(5))
The contract provides for termination for cause based on "misconduct of the COACH... of such a nature, as reasonably determined in the discretion of NC STATE, that would significantly offend the traditions and ethics of NC STATE or which brings significant discredit to NC STATE."
Lying to your AD. Secretly negotiating with another school for months. Resigning by email through your agent. Using a public university's resources as a one-year audition for your next job. That's significant discredit by any reasonable measure.
THE BUYOUT — AND WHY NC STATE LEFT MONEY ON THE TABLE
Section XIII.B sets the buyout at $5 million before April 1, 2026, dropping to $3 million after. NC State reportedly settled at $4 million.
Here's the problem with that settlement: the liquidated damages framework in XIII.B presumes an orderly departure — coach decides to leave, provides notice, pays the schedule. It doesn't contemplate a coach who spent months secretly negotiating his exit while deceiving university officials.
Section XIII.A's written notice requirement functions as a condition precedent to the buyout framework. Wade didn't comply with it. NC State therefore had a colorable argument that its remedies weren't capped by the buyout schedule but extended to actual damages — the cost of a coaching search, roster attrition, lost recruiting momentum, the institutional resources invested in a roster Wade knew he was abandoning.
NC State likely has a general release as part of the $4 million settlement. If so, that claim is gone. But it didn't have to go this way.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Wade's contract with NC State was well-drafted. It anticipated exactly this scenario. It imposed specific, enforceable obligations to disclose and provide written notice before pursuing other employment. Wade ignored those obligations while actively concealing his plans.
He took NC State's money, spent NC State's NIL budget, made recruiting promises on NC State's behalf, apparently lied to NC State's AD, and then resigned by email through his agent on his way out the door to a job that had been, according @MattBaker @BrendanRMarks and @ralphDrussoATH , "in the works" for months.
Whether NC State has the appetite to fight this is a separate question from whether it has the right to. The contract says it does.

@LSUBasketball @Coach_WillWade I hope Will Wade plans to retire from LSU because after the way he lied to NCSU no other school will ever trust him again. Once a liar, always a liar. He quit through an email - from his agent, tacky. Don't let your son play for this man - he will lie to you too. No Class POS

@LSUBasketball That man wouldn't know loyalty if it bit him in the ass. 🤣😂 Grit? He's shaped liked a pear, hasn't worked out in years - he's soft, a bully, a loser. Good luck with that.

@LauraLoomer @RealCandaceO @MrsErikaKirk Wow - it's funny that YOU of all people are calling someone else schizophrenic. How many times have you been committed? How many psych holds? That's pathetic.
English

You first, Candace! @RealCandaceO
Your show is nothing but a stream of schizophrenic rants by a woman scorned because Charlie didn’t want the ghetto black bitch.
He chose @MrsErikaKirk, the pretty white blonde woman.
Candace Owens@RealCandaceO
I feel like Laura Loomer may need to be put on a psych 5150 hold again.

@NickStevensHS He's a Loser. Anyone running around displaying a big ole L these days signals Loser State University - no integrity.

One thing that has become clear about Wade: he’s not fearless. His antics are an act. He’s all bark, no bite. He ran from the challenge of going head-to-head with Duke & UNC. He quit by email. He wanted somewhere with less pressure to win. He got it. NCSU will be better for it.

@coolbreezepack @LSUBasketball @CoachWadeNCSU Yeah, what kind of POS does that? Oh - Wade does. Should have known better. 🙄

@SportsCenter @SeanFarnham The General was always coming home.
Always.

@coachboulrisse @SportsCenter @SeanFarnham But it wasn't legal when he did it. That's the point - no integrity then, no integrity now.
English

@SportsCenter @SeanFarnham Everything Wade did before is now legal. He won there that’s all that matters there. LSU is an outlaw school. I don’t think they even have an academic program at the school. Has any athlete there ever received a degree in the last 20 years. Student/Athlete at LSU doesn’t exist.

@LSUpresident @LSUsports @LSUBasketball I hope Will Wade plans to retire from LSU because after the way he lied to NCSU nobody should ever trust him again. Once a liar, always a liar. Quit through an email - tacky. No class whatsoever. Don't let your son play for this man - he will lie to you too. No Class POS

THE RETURN OF THE GENERAL to Baton Rouge!!!

@LupusBeowulf @LSUsports And he will most definitely continue his scumbag ways and probably get LSU back into big time trouble. Fool me once, fool me twice, well guess what LSU it’s coming.

@LSUsports A liar with no integrity - he lied to NCSU for months, he's a POS.
