Will Wade leaving NC State for his old men's basketball job at LSU has not sat well with the Wolfpack.

In fact, NC State athletic director Boo Corrigan has already thrown Wade under the bus with a Thursday press conference where he alleged Wade told him as recently as Tuesday that he wanted to stay with the school.

Corrigan also alleged that Wade confirmed to him numerous times he wouldn't be interested in the LSU job if it opened up. Perhaps the most stinging allegation from Corrigan is that Wade resigned from his NC State job via an email from his agent.

According to on3's Noah Fleischmann, Corrigan even blasted Wade with a quote from former NC State quarterback Philip Rivers.

"The Wolfpack ain't for soft people," Corrigan said. "We're going to go find a coach that understands who we are."
