“He stacked Auburn’s board with his closest cronies and those who owed him the most money… He always chaired the athletics committee. He always hired the coaches and fired the coaches. He alone ran Auburn– almost into the ground. He alone hired and fired the presidents, the good ones and mediocre ones.”

This man, Bobby Lowder, remains on the board of trustees at Auburn University. Read all about him here.

The latest sex and money for Auburn players scandal is coming soon to a tv screen near you. Bobby Lowder has instructed Auburn to have no comment in response to the players’ allegations.

Auburn: The shame of the nation.

It all comes down to cowardice.

[The commissioner of the Big Ten conference] warned of the risks involved in reducing [athletics] spending. Doing so is likely to raise the ire of donors, university trustees and members of the public. “It is a contact sport,” Delany said. “I’ve found it much easier to generate revenue than to cut costs. I’m being honest with you.”

And that’s how you make the world safe for Bobby Lowder.

Auburn? A Sports Scandal???

Now I’ve heard everything. You mean to tell me that people are pointing fingers at a school one-fourth of whose trustees are former football players for the school? That has a total of two women on the board? Among whose trustees sits the Amazing!!!! Bobby Lowder? A school that has the longest record of sports scandals in the history of the universe?

Puh-leeze.
