Kevin White, former Duke AD, says Allen Greene's departure is 'utterly shameful'

Kevin White didn’t mince words in his statement regarding the departure of Auburn AD Allen Greene.

White, the former AD at Duke, was a mentor to Greene as his moved through the administrative ranks while they were both at Notre Dame. He described Auburn’s actions regarding Greene as “terribly disturbing to say the least, perhaps closer to utterly shameful’!

He continued by saying Auburn, “the apparent political dysfunction within Auburn is truly legendary.”

White later calls Auburn “tone deaf” and regards White as “a rockstar leader within the broader college athletics landscape.”

Greene came up in athletics administration at Notre Dame — where he played baseball — under White, who blasts Auburn here.

Not sure there's a less powerful Power AD position in college sports than the one at Auburn. https://t.co/2c84xv9V7u
