Arrr, ye scurvy dogs! Les Miles be cryin' foul and suin' the school for takin' away 37 of his hard-earned victories. The man be wantin' his name in the Hall of Fame, but it be like tryin' to find buried treasure without a map!
Arrr, mateys! Former LSU head football coach Les Miles be filing a lawsuit against the university, claimin' that them vacated wins from 2012-15 be keepin' him out of consideration for the College Football Hall of Fame. Aye, he be seekin' an "appropriate remedy for the blot placed on his good name and reputation," as 37 of his wins were scrubbed from the record, droppin' him below the .600 threshold for the Hall of Fame.The reason for them vacated wins be an NCAA investigation uncoverin' a Level I recruiting violation durin' Miles' time as head coach. A rep for the Tigers athletics paid the father of a recruit over $180,000 in an embezzlement scheme, resultin' in the punishment of vacatin' them wins.Miles be accusin' the university of jumpin' the gun with the self-imposed penalty, strippin' him of his Hall of Fame eligibility without a fair hearin'. With his record sittin' at .597, he be lookin' to get back above the threshold for induction into the prestigious Hall. Despite his successes at LSU, includin' a BCS Championship, his legacy be tainted by them vacated wins and the lack of support from his former schools for Hall of Fame nomination.
