What's your problem? Ever thought for one second that football is not the be all, end all or the reason for a university to exist?

Auburn is 100% the type of school for football to be the reason the university exists.

That goes for most SEC schools.

Also, I worked with enrollment at Auburn in 2014. Historically, SEC schools see a huge boost in enrollment and applications when their football team is competitive, which Auburn saw from 2013 to 2014.

That’s why many people have said Saban was worth more than his salary because his program’s success boosted Alabama as a university in way more ways than just football wins.

As an Auburn alum, I disagree with this.

Auburn isnt smart enough to hire a real search committee.

Auburn has to slow down the firings until they have an epiphany

Dude, Auburn is turning away very qualified students every semester. Their are more applicants than there are spots. I personally know of a student that didn't get in with a 3.5 GPA, host of AP classes that include physics and chemistry. Took the ACT one time and got a 28. Another person I know is well connected is friends with a former University President. He told me that he asked he him what his job entails and was told that most of his time is spent fundraising and the rest is talking to alums about why their kid didn't get in.

That is because AU spent much of the money on Gene, Gus and Harsin's buyout.

Surely "they're" not that easy to get from their administration.

So, your self-esteem depends of what a 19 year old in a red jersey does with a football?

And yet Jordan Hare stadium remains full, whereas Tiger stadium has had students and fans leave early for years, before games are even decided in many cases.

Most auburn fans don't know it, but they got really lucky when MSU decided to go cheap on camp newton.
