Just discovered this tidbit today, lets see who else knows it.

What is the only Auburn athletic team that competes as an independent, outside of the SEC?

[AUBURNTIGERFAN 0]

Equestrian?

I don't know if Crew is considered an athletic team since they are officially not in the athletic department. But they definitely compete outside the SEC.

I thought the Rugby team was just a club team...

Sorry to make you wait but the answer is of course Equestrian. Club sports were excluded as they don't really fall under the athletic department.

I'm pretty sure they are since they did just win an NCAA national championship. However, even if they are not they are still under the control of the athletic department unlike the club sports.

Why wouldn't they be under the School of Agriculture?

Just kidding--very proud of them. I have an in-law whose daughter was on the E-team at Duke. It's a real hard row. The travel logistics are enormous.
