Auburn students crowd bar during first weekend on campus, university “will investigate to determine next steps”

Kentucky will kick off its season on the road against Auburn in just 34 days. At least, that’s the plan as of right now. We’ve seen how fast things change in 2020.

The Auburn community flooded the bars around campus on Saturday night. Students were photographed standing shoulder to shoulder; there are few masks in sight and no sign of social distancing. Current Alabama law says all bars must stop serving alcohol at 11:00 pm, but the students at Auburn made sure to all get their drinks before the deadline.

Here was the scene on the first weekend after students got back to campus:

Auburn reported 41 COVID-19 cases for the week of August 8-14 and has reported 338 since March.
