Les Miles Is Suing LSU Because Their Decision To Vacate His Wins Cost Him The Chance For College Football Hall of Fame Qualification By .003%

So Les Miles, according to the scoreboards at the end of the football games he's coached, has a career record of 145 wins and 73 losses. For those of you without a calculator on hand, that's a 66.5% winning percentage, which is well above the 60% requirement it takes to be eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame. There's only one problem: LSU decided to vacate 37 of his wins from 2012-2015 due to a Level 1 violation of paying the father of a recruit over $180,000 over a 5-year period. That means that right now, according to the record books, his overall record is 108 wins and 73 losses (.597%), which is .003% below the requirement and he is ineligible.

I think it's safe to say that it's fucking bullshit that he falls just below the line, especially when you factor in that LSU self-imposed these vacated wins to receive a lesser punishment from the NCAA. Can they maybe vacate 1 less win and pay a fine or something? Because at the end of the day, who gives a fuuuuuuck about paying players anymore. We got mediocre players bringing in 2 million dollars of legal cash these days, so maybe let's not ruin this man's legacy because he knew someone got 30K a year back in 2012. If his resume is good enough to make the Hall of Fame, let him in. If it's not, keep him out. But it can't be decided by .03% when the school took away 37 of his wins...

With that being said, going 3-18 in his two years at Kansas doesn't help his cause either. Tough to argue that you belong in the College Football Hall of Fame when your last season ended with an 0-9 record....

But either way, it appears that the Miles camp is using a 1971 Supreme Court decision as precedent as to why.....his wins should be counted?

The Miles lawsuit also cites a 1971 Supreme Court decision in the very first sentence in reference to his own battle: 

“Where a person’s good name, reputation, honor, or integrity is at stake because of what the government is doing to him, notice and an opportunity to be heard are essential,” read the quote.

I think he should use the legal argument of, come on man, this is fucking bullshit....instead of quoting things such as "a person's good name, reputation, and honor". I don't think anyone uses any of those words when describing Les, who was caught texting female student workers and made them feel uncomfortable. 

Barstool LSU has their countersuit ready....

Maybe add one for time mismanagement too?
