Whilst I was not alive between 1906 and 1947 ( ), I was not inferring that either Auburn or Alabama was doing it for some sort of advantage — simply the way the post was worded.

Depending on who you ask, you'll get a different answer as to why the game wasn't actually scheduled/played by either team.

Point was that scheduling itself was the wild west back in the early days, and was often done at the whims of the coaches involved.
