Les Miles, who coached the LSU Tigers to a 2007 national championship, is suing the university over its decision to vacate 37 of his teams' victories between 2012 and 2015.
The lawsuit filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana in Baton Rouge alleges that LSU never gave Miles a chance to be heard before altering the coach's career record significantly enough to disqualify him from consideration for the Atlanta-based College Football Hall of Fame.

"Les was given no right to be heard, or even advance notice of LSU's actions, despite LSU being a state-owned and state-run institution that is bound by constitutional safeguards," Miles' lawyer, Peter Ginsberg of Moskowitz Colson Ginsburg & Shulman, New York, said in a statement. Local counsel on the suit is New Orleans attorney Taylor P. Mouledoux of Looper Goodwine.
