Les Miles sues LSU for vacating wins, costing him HOF

Former longtime LSU coach Les Miles filed a lawsuit against the school for vacating 37 wins as part of self-imposed punishment that sunk his chance to qualify for the College Football Hall of Fame.In a release on Monday, Miles said the decision was “irrational and unfair self-inflicted punishment.”LSU announced last June it was vacating wins from 2012 to 2015 over recruiting violations regarding former player Vadal Alexander. LSU was responding to a notice of allegations from the NCAA in March 2022.Miles, who after two seasons at Kansas had a career record of 145-73, a .665 winning percentage, saw that mark drop to 108-73, giving him a career percentage of .597 — below the .600 required to qualify for the HOF.Miles’ lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana.
