Former LSU Tigers head coach Les Miles has filed a lawsuit against Louisiana State University over its decision to vacate 37 of his teams' victories between 2012 and 2015. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Baton Rouge, alleges that LSU did not provide Miles with an opportunity to defend himself before significantly altering his career record, which now disqualifies him from consideration for the College Football Hall of Fame.
The vacating of victories was a result of an NCAA ruling that former Tigers offensive lineman Vadal Alexander had received financial benefits that violated NCAA rules during his time at LSU. This decision led to Miles' official career record being changed from 145-73 to 108-73, falling below the .600 win percentage required for Hall of Fame eligibility.
