Louisiana Judge Dismisses Les Miles’ Lawsuit Against LSU, NCAA For Vacated Wins

According to The Advocate, a Louisiana judge dismissed a lawsuit from former LSU Coach Les Miles against LSU, the NCAA, and the National Football Foundation.

The lawsuit was over the decision to vacate a total of 37 wins at various points in Coach Miles’ 12-year tenure with the program. These vacated wins are the difference between his being eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame and being ineligible.

District Judge Ronald Johnson issued the ruling, but Coach Miles’ attorney shared that they could consider appealing this decision.

Coach Miles originally sued back in September 2024, over a year after LSU vacated the wins. With the vacated wins, Coach Miles’ win percentage of 0.597 was below the 0.600 winning percentage requirement to be considered for the Hall of Fame.

The lawsuit sought a declaratory judgment that would have allowed the vacated wins to be considered for Coach Miles’ bid for the Hall of Fame. His attorneys tried to argue that his right to due process was violated when LSU vacated the wins, and that vacating his wins breached his coach from when he was LSU’s Coach. Both of these were evidently fairly weak arguments, as they were both dismissed.
