In a recent admissions video, Auburn University President Jay Gogue expressed his confidence that the school is “going to have football this fall.”
The statement came in the context of Gogue advising that classes will open for face-to-face instruction as planned in the fall.
He also shared that student activities such as Greek life events will still occur in a relatively normal fashion.
“We’re going to have all of the activities that we have every fall,” Gogue said to incoming freshmen. “The only thing that will be different is that you will be with us this fall, and we’re looking forward to having you.”
