Former LSU coach Les Miles has filed a lawsuit against LSU, the NCAA, and the College Football Hall of Fame. Miles alleges that LSU's decision to vacate 37 wins from his tenure cost him eligibility for the College Football Hall of Fame. The lawsuit, filed in federal court, claims that the sanctions lowered his win-loss record to .5966, below the .600 threshold required for Hall of Fame consideration. He is seeking a court declaration to restore the vacated wins and make him eligible for nomination. The news release from Miles called the decision 'an irrational and unfair self-inflicted punishment.'
