BATON ROUGE - Will Wade is making major concessions as part of the agreement to reinstate him as LSU's head basketball coach.

Under the new terms in his contract, LSU may now fire Wade if he's found to have committed a Level I or Level II NCAA violation. Wade has also agreed to waive the $250,000 performance bonus he earned in the 2018-2019 season

“This amendment to Will Wade’s contract represents a strong commitment by Coach Wade to the integrity of the institution and to his continued cooperation in partnership with LSU. We are pleased we were able to come to this agreement as we move forward in this process," read a statement from Interim Vice President for Strategic Communications Jason Droddy.

In early April, Wade again met with LSU officials for the first time since his March 8 indefinite suspension. Wade had initially refused to meet with university officials last month about comments he reportedly made in an FBI wiretapped phone call with federally convicted sports agent Christian Dawkins. In the recordings, Wade referred to a "strong-ass offer" he made in the recruitment of a basketball prospect.

BATON ROUGE - LSU's newly hired athletics director, Scott Woodward, is slated to make more than a million dollars a year over his next six years at the school.

Last week, Woodward signed the six-year contract with the university, paying out $1.1 million in his first year and gradually increasing to $1.5 million in the agreement's final year. The contract also includes a damages payment of $50,000 to Woodward's former employer, Texas A&M.

Also packed into the contract were a $250,000 relocation signing bonus and two retention bonuses, the first worth $250,000 and a second worth $500,000. Woodward will earn those two bonuses if he remains at the university through April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2025 respectively.

LSU may terminate his contract at any time but will have to pay out the remainder of Woodward's salary if it does so. Woodward will have to pay the university the remaining base salary, which amounts to $525,000 each year, and other compensation if he opts to terminate the agreement.
