Auburn is investigating whether part-time academic staffer took an exam for at least one football player, ESPN's Outside The Lines reports.
The school reportedly hired a law firm to investigate the alleged incident which occurred with a player from the 2016 team.
The school is investigating whether a mentor for the school's Student-Athlete Support Services department took an online final exam for at least one player, according to ESPN. A tutor reportedly became aware of the incident while reviewing that player's records. The player reportedly told the tutor he did not take the exam.
After telling the mentor's supervisor, the tutor was told her job would not be renewed, and the tutor then reported the problem to Auburn's compliance director and human resources for the athletic department.
