All of Auburn -- not just the football team -- on probation for athletic-related troubles: Auburn University is one step away from losing its accreditation because of various violations, mostly stemming from trustees' meddling in day-to-day affairs. The report by Auburn's accreditation agency specifically says the school needs to "demonstrate that the president has ultimate control over the school's athletic program" and "demonstrate that the president has ultimate control over athletic spending." Geez, under these standards, just about every school in the SEC could lose its accreditation, no?
