OPINION | It's time to let college athletes own themselves

By Fall 2019 Editorial Board | September 27

EDITORIAL | Board of Distrustees: Auburn governed in the dark

By Fall 2019 Editorial Board | September 12

Even if Leath had gone on to have a lengthy and stable tenure at Auburn, the opaqueness surrounding his hiring would be disgraceful. However, given his hasty resignation and $4.5 million farewell gift, that opaqueness is untenable. 

EDITORIAL | Oh, Kay ... we haven't come a long way

By Fall 2019 Editorial Board | September 5

It’s shameful how low the bar has been set for Alabama, and it’s embarrassing that people still manage to trip over it.
