Just when you think Auburn can’t stoop any lower with Bryan Harsin…
Auburn University enacted a new policy Tuesday requiring employees to fully cooperate with university investigations, with failure to do so punishable by termination.
The new policy went into effect as Auburn is “judiciously collecting information” about football coach Bryan Harsin’s tenure at the school. However, it’s wasn’t immediately clear whether the Harsin investigation is what prompted the new document. It also wasn’t clear when the document was initially drafted.
Auburn did not immediately respond to follow-up questions from the Montgomery Advertiser on Wednesday evening.
“Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination,” the document says.
So much for the affair with the staffer.
The idea that something this clumsy would work is hilarious, unless you’re a lawyer retained by the school to defend the inevitable lawsuit coming. And I haven’t even gotten to the punchline yet, which is…
In 2017 during the school’s internal investigation into the men’s basketball program, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl did not cooperate, refusing to interview with Auburn officials and university legal counsel.
That would be just received an eight-year contract extension Auburn coach Bruce Pearl to you, mofo.
By the way,
That shouldn’t be awkward in the slightest.
We’re gonna need a bigger bag of popcorn, y’all.
