Miles was allegedly involved with a bonus system for players, orchestrated by then-assistant coach Joe DeForest, along with direct payments and no-show or sham jobs involving boosters. Miles allegedly dismissed academic standards to the point of players playing who were otherwise academically ineligible, including having their school work done by so-called tutors and other school personnel. He allegedly tolerated widespread drug abuse among the players by using a sham drug counseling program and selective drug enforcement. Miles allegedly grew the Orange Pride hostess program to the point of interviewing hostess candidates personally and facilitating some hostesses to have sex with prospective recruits. Miles has denied any wrongdoing during his time as head coach at OSU.
