Well, I read the first 4-5 pages of comments.

I think people need to chill and realize this doesn't have legs. Could the things he's implying be true? Of course its possible, but what he's presented as evidence to insinuate these things is laughable.

I basically stopped reading when someone said it was on Auburn to prove that it's not true what he's implying.

That's not how this country works.

Every school has a shady host program, it's just become trendy to take shots at us.

Wow. I see you made a logical statement about paid employees and volunteering and most responses have been bad analogies about other programs or telling you perception doesn't matter. Some angry folks here this morning.

I'll pose a question, pertaining to the perception end of the spectrum, Aubies. Do you not think that everything in Auburn's power should be done not to give the perception of possible impropriety? Especially considering your current coaches have been penalized for recruiting violations, you're currently under investigation for recruiting violations by the NCAA and there is at least one other aspect to the investigation that is currently ongoing that deals with recruiting? Can you not honestly see why that may have a raised brow when something of this nature is reported and the highest payments coincide with the commitments of high profile recruits?

It's been A LONG TIME since I had my job at Auburn University. If I remember correctly, I was assigned a job. I didn't get to pick one or have a department pick me. I also had multiple jobs in multiple departments while I was there. Just because I worked in the printing department one quarter didn't mean I'd have that job the next quarter.

The point is that unless someone can show me that these volunteers were actually working in the athletic department, it's a non-story.

I guess you only give props to logical posts that are anti-Auburn.

Here's how this thread has gone and will continue to go:

You, and anyone else that's tired of seeing Auburn coming up in the headlines without getting whacked, will take these articles and think for sure, just more of the same ol' cheating from Auburn.

We will continue to defend Auburn and discredit things that come out.

Maybe I speak for myself, but I will be very disappointed with our staff the instant that any evidence comes out, and I'll be the first one calling for them to lose their jobs.

But this circumstantial bull shite yall do day-in and day-out really gets old.

It's established they are paid employees of Auburn University.

quote:

While the Tigerettes and Tiger Hosts’ responsibilities with recruitment are limited to on-campus visits by prospects, they also represent the athletic department at functions and community events, such as spring flings at local schools.

“The rules now are such that we don’t go off campus that much,” Locklar said. “The Tigerettes and Tiger Hosts can do all the clerical stuff and all the office stuff and the community stuff.

“We help Jay Jacobs host his functions. Even the Auburn University Retirement Association, we help with their function, just to kind of represent the Athletic Department.”


Being a paid employee and bein so involved in recruiting and going to high school functions isn't a good idea, and can easily give an appearance of impropriety. Especially with the current coaching staff having been penalized for recruiting violations and under investigation as we speak.

Yes. It stated that these girls got paid for being hostesses.

Is not recruiting related, FWIW

And I know you should know this but the function of the Host/hostesses are not what they are being paid for. it is other duties. And only a portion of the host/hostesses actualy work for the school. with the majority of those getting less than $200 a month.

bein so involved in recruiting

Come on now, do we need to get into this argument. how much involvement do you really think they have in the entire scope of the recruiting process.

So paid employees should not be allowed to recruit. well damn looks like Saban better give back his money and recruit pro bono

Well Damn, looks like Saban should stop recruitment all together

To use your tried and true argument. No he didn't. He said they were paid and that they were Tigerettes. He didn't say they were paid to be Tigerettes.
