An attorney for former LSU head football coach Les Miles said Saturday that Miles has been unfairly maligned amid mounting allegations that he sexually harassed students at LSU.

But Peter Ginsberg, a New York-based attorney for Miles, released a statement Saturday jumping to his defense. He also said that Kansas had previously "been provided with significant information" about a 2013 sexual harassment investigation regarding Miles.

"The events of the past twenty-four hours are deeply disturbing," Ginsberg wrote.

But Ginsberg said the decision to place Miles on administrative leave at Kansas — which many have argued does not go far enough — is unfair.

"To fail to recognize that a person’s career should not be compromised by unsubstantiated allegations hardly is consistent with the example an institution of higher learning should champion," Ginsberg wrote.
