Auburn football just made a bold move by turning down a bowl game invite, even though their academic progress made them eligible. With a new head coach, Alex Golesh, still assembling his staff and several players expected to hit the transfer portal, the program decided it’s better to focus on rebuilding than squeezing in one more game. Auburn isn’t alone—at least seven other 5-7 teams, including Baylor and Florida State, also declined bowl bids this year. What do you think: smart long-term planning, or a missed opportunity for the team and fans? #Sports #Football #AuburnFootball
