Today, ESPN reported that a former Auburn softball player accused former Auburn softball coach Clint Myers and other Auburn University Athletics Department officials of covering up a pattern of sexual harassment and deviancy committed by former Auburn assistant, Corey Myers. Auburn is no stranger to negative media attention, but this feels different.
Unlike the Cam Newton saga, coaches have already resigned. Unlike the sociology scandal, the allegations don’t concern a marginally shady, but common, practice that benefited athletes and non-athletes alike. Unlike Sunny Golloway, the trouble isn’t limited to one individual.
This is different. You know it’s different.
