According to the report, Miles was reached by phone on Wednesday and said, "That’s not true."

“As part of the Husch Blackwell review and our internal investigations, we have heard about a settlement but LSU is not a party to it and we have not seen it,” LSU spokesperson Jim Sabourin told The Advocate.

According to USA Today, Miles was investigated at LSU for allegedly sexually harassing student workers and making sexist comments.

Three years before LSU fired him, Les Miles was alleged to have sexually harassed student workers and made sexist comments about others.
