I think LSU and Les Miles are in the commercials because they are funny. To my knowledge, LSU gas been featured in 3 ESPN ads, Shaw getting Mike down from a tree, Les Miles in the recruiting pitch, and the gameday crew eating grass. All were good ads as the sportscenter ads are generally well done.

I believe the recruiting ad was done after LSU landed the #1 class in the nation which would lend a reason to the selection for the ad. Also Miles tends to come off as very likable and willing to laugh at something as opposed to some other SEC coaches. The whole thing with Scott Van Pelt and the shoes that were sent to Les, only to have a video of Miles playing basketball with histhe choldren and getting better "with the shoes" was good for a laugh.

Overall, I think ESPN is doing what is good for business by putting the teams that are in the commercials in them.
