[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 703266, member: 1776"] A few transcripts from the HBO special. if Wade doesn't get his comeuppance than they might as well just disband the NCAA [URL]https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/new-hbo-doc-provides-audio-of-will-wade-sean-miller-talking-about-pay-for-play-schemes-in-college-basketball/[/URL] CBS Sports was provided a screener of the documentary in advance of its airing. In an undated call between Dawkins and Wade from the summer of 2017 (when we know the FBI tapped Dawkins' phone), the following conversation is had: [I]WADE: Hopefully (Jaron) Blossomgame's not blowing you up too much right now.[/I] [I]DAWKINS: Well listen, I mean [expletive], he could be playing for LSU or some [expletive]. He could have fifth-year eligibility and if he doesn't get drafted like Randolph Morris or some [expletive] like that.[/I] [I]WADE: We'll take that. We'll take it. [/I] [I]DAWKINS: I know you will. I know you will.[/I] [I]WADE: We could compensate him better than the rookie minimum. [/I] [I]DAWKINS (laughing): You probably right about that, too.[/I] [I]WADE: We'd give him more than the the D-League.[/I] [I]DAWKINS: Exactly. Exactly. God bless us all. God bless us all. So, what's the good word, though?[/I] [I]WADE: All right I was thinking last night on this Smart thing. Like, I'll be honest with you, I'm [expletive] tired of dealing with the thing. Like I'm just [expletive] sick of dealing with this [expletive]. What do you think, 'cause I went to him with a [expletive] strong-*** offer about a month ago. [Expletive] strong. Now, the problem was, I know why he didn't take it now -- it was [expletive] tilted toward the family a little bit. But I mean it was a [expletive] hell of a [expletive] offer. Like, hell of an offer. Especially for a kid who's going to be a two- or three-year kid.[/I] [I]DAWKINS: Right.[/I] [I]WADE: I've made deals for as good a players as him that were [expletive] a lot simpler than this.[/I] The doc cuts from that call to Dawkins making further clear his impression of the conversation with Wade. Dawkins goes so far as to praise Wade for pulling off what he did and keeping his post at LSU. "100% talking about money," he says in the film. "Just audacity, you gotta take your hat off to him, man. He, not only didn't get charged for anything, not only did the government have all this information and evidence and nothing was happening on a criminal level, he also basically just said [expletive] you to the NCAA and to the university he worked for.
