Les Miles Placed On Leave Amidst Controversy

In a move that was at least somewhat expect, the University of Kansas announced Friday evening that head football coach Les Miles is being placed on administrative leave as the University conducts a full review of the recent allegations that have surfaced against him.

For those who haven’t been following the emerging story, earlier this week a 2013 investigation into Miles’ behavior while coaching at LSU came to light. An internal investigation was done in Baton Rogue at the time, though it was never made public until just days ago. The probe was launched amidst numerous allegations of misbehavior on Miles’ part, specifically his behavior around women in the athletic program, and allegations of sexual harassments lodged against him by multiple individuals.
