LSU’s Associate Athletic Director of Football Recruiting, Sharon Lewis, tells USA Today she will file several lawsuits against the school, claiming she was mistreated for trying to stop sexual harassment.
Tiger Rag Editor Ron Higgins says the allegations are explosive, including the details of an argument Lewis had with former football coach Les Miles.

He recounted the alleged conversation, “If she was a coach and didn’t do what he said then he’d punch her in her M F’n face and she said I guess you’ll just have to punch me in my M F’n face.”
Lewis says the argument was over Miles’s alleged desire to have blond women or light-skinned black women on the recruiting staff that he considered prettier.
Lewis says she continues to get mistreated by several LSU athletic officials who she claims tried to cover up sexual harassment allegations against Miles. Higgins says Lewis told the USA Today she’s also been denied pay raises and Executive Deputy Athletic Director Verge Ausberry allegedly said to her, “maybe it’s time to find a new job”…
“It’s just appalling it really is, after you read this it doesn’t look good for Verge Ausberry”
The Husch Blackwell report resulted in Ausberry and Miriam Segar receiving a multi-week suspension. But Higgins says Lewis’s detailed allegations in the USA Today report of how she’s been mistreated over the last several years could lead to further discipline…
“She was in the room with Frank Wilson on a speaker phone when he was talking to Verge Ausberry and Ausberry called Lewis a stupid, incompetent B.”
