Louisiana Judge Dismisses Les Miles' Lawsuit Against LSU Over Vacated Wins

Miles sued in September 2024, more than a year after LSU vacated every win from 2012-15 as part of an NCAA investigation into the men’s basketball and football programs. LSU imposed the penalty because the father of former offensive lineman Vadal Alexander received roughly $180,150 from a booster during his LSU career.

As a result, Miles’ official record across 18 seasons at Oklahoma State, LSU and Kansas dropped to 108-73 (.597), putting him below the .600 mark required for consideration. The lawsuit sought a declaratory judgment that would restore his eligibility for the Hall of Fame and allow the vacated wins to be considered in his nomination.

Miles’ attorneys argued he never had the chance to be heard before LSU vacated the wins, violating his right to due process under the U.S. and Louisiana constitutions, and that doing so breached his contract from when he was LSU’s coach.
