Les Miles' Hall of Fame eligibility may be hurt by LSU's vacated wins

Former LSU coach Les Miles may no longer be eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame after the school vacated 37 wins as part of NCAA penalties announced Thursday.

LSU football vacated the wins from 2012 to 2015 because of recruiting violations stemming from impermissible benefits paid to the father of former player Vadal Alexander by a former booster. The school self-imposed the penalty, which was revealed for the first time Thursday, after receiving a notice of allegations from the NCAA in March 2022. Alexander competed for LSU from 2012 to 2015.

Miles, who coached LSU from 2005 to 2016, went 114-34 at the school and won a national title in 2007.
