Stanley Jacobs, one of the few people briefed on the sexual harassment allegations in 2013 against then-LSU coach Les Miles, says he and others made the right decision in keeping the coach and that he was strongly encouraged by attorneys and the then-school president to keep the matter secret.
However, during a wide-ranging interview with
Sports Illustrated on Tuesday, Jacobs acknowledged that the scandal’s recent publication has caused him sleepless nights and admits that Miles’s mutual split with Kansas on Monday night made him “pause.”
“It’s kept me up at night. Of course it has,” says Jacobs, a New Orleans attorney who served on the LSU Board of Supervisors for 18 years and played basketball for the Tigers in the 1960s. “Les resigning makes me pause but based on the evidence, I feel like we made the right decision. It’s the evidence we had before us.”
