Wade Returns to LSU as McMahon’s Fate Remains Unclear

LSU is reportedly bringing back Will Wade to replace Matt McMahon, with McMahon not yet formally notified as talks and a decision loom. Wade’s NC State buyout drops to $3 million on April 1, and the two sides had discussions but apparently did not reach an agreement as of publication. Wade would return to the SEC to renew a rivalry with Kentucky, while McMahon’s four-year run at LSU has been marred by NCAA Tournament absence and a 15-17 (3-15) finish in 2026.

Kansas State’s costly contract gamble backfires as Tang era ends

Kansas State fired head coach Jerome Tang after a downturn in results, despite a lucrative, guaranteed contract through 2030. If fired without cause, Tang would receive about $18.67 million. The piece argues this isn’t a morality issue but a money one, highlighting how schools sign big deals they later regret and may be forced to pay out, with Tang having led Kansas State to the Elite Eight in 2022-23 before the program’s recent struggles, potentially triggering legal and financial fallout and echoes of other big buyouts at other programs.
