EastAl_Tiger 228 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 If the Board is, as rumored, getting involved in the relationship between Steel and his employer (Allen Greene et al.) isn't that what got Auburn in trouble with SACS years ago.?? If I was the AD, i'd sit Steel down and ask him point blank about all the accusations (that his job is being protected by the Board member(s)). Either he'll affirm or lie about it. Both of which are fireable offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, probation with threat of loss of LOTS of federal money. Apparently folks have short memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 SACS needs to come in and do an evaluation again. BoT is micromanaging athletics at this point. Maybe losing accreditation will get them under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, interference from the BOT/PTB and money men never vanished. We all know they'll continue to work behind the scenes no matter how many committee's and search firms are gathered in an attempt to make it appear Auburn is following standard operating procedure. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Correct me if needed. But I don’t think SACS has a damn thing to do with football. It is what gives credibility to the education of the school. We got in SACS trouble because the sociology department was letting students coast through their classes. Football was just how the whistle blower got the attention of the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See below: ”The accrediting agency that placed Auburn University on 12 months probation says that Auburn failed to show that university President William Walker has control of the school's athletic program and that its Board of Trustees doesn't manage day-to-day affairs.” -WTVM article dated 12/18/03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,813 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It's PROBABLY going to be a pretty terrible next hire, at this rate, but lord knows getting a LOIC charge is an absolute atrocity Combined with this (censored) recruiting failure, we'd be down bad for the next half decade, at minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we're a family right, and we love Auburn for itself and not football like the bammers right? If it keeps going like this, SACS needs to shut us down. OR the NCAA, even thought they're a toothless/clawless Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerrules 517 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The last thing Anyone needs is the mindless bureaucrats at the NCAA and SACS snooping around the University. They would never have Auburn’s best interests as a priority. Having said that, the BOT needs to provide leadership and let/require everyone else to do their jobs. Auburn should be managed by the people of the state of Alabama. People that have many millions of dollars, and donate many millions of dollars, ultimately involve themselves more than wanted, needed and is really good for all parties. But it is convenient when they are around to buy out coaching contracts and fund building projects. Rich people with clout are great, until they act like rich people with clout. Auburn family is bigger than its rich boosters, I hope this situation ultimately proves this to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
