Louisiana State announced Sunday that it had lifted a monthlong suspension of its head basketball coach, Will Wade, over suspicions of his involvement in the ring of recruiting corruption that was first revealed by federal prosecutors in 2017. The university’s athletic director, Joe Alleva, said that Wade had met Friday with officials from both Louisiana State and the N.C.A.A. “He answered all questions and denied any wrongdoing,” Alleva said of Wade in a statement. In the statement, Wade said, “I completely understand that without my denying or explaining the media reports accusing me of wrongdoing L.S.U. was left with no choice but to suspend me until I was willing and able to meet with them.”
