…but at least my alma mater isn’t on academic probation.

Auburn University was placed on 12 months probation Tuesday by a national accrediting agency that said the school violated rules regarding the school’s board of trustees and intercollegiate athletics. School officials said they were “disappointed and surprised” by the ruling, which is one step short of revoking Auburn’s accreditation. Lack of accreditation would result in the loss of millions of dollars in federal funding, including federal financial aid. Montgomery Advertiser

I mean, the Tide has been on NCAA probation for a few years now, but at least the academic side of the house is in order.
