A former Auburn football staffer has reportedly been arrested on felony charges involving theft of trade secrets and computer tampering after allegedly distributing internal Auburn football information. And the details surrounding the story are bizarre. According to the reporting discussed on Auburn HIT, former staffer David Genrath allegedly became disgruntled and sent emails containing Auburn scouting and recruiting information to people outside the program. His role reportedly involved scouting running backs. The situation becomes even stranger because the former Auburn staffer is now studying sports analytics at Tennessee, and the story surfaced during Auburn-Tennessee week. That timing will naturally create plenty of conspiracy theories. But there's currently no reason presented here to suggest Tennessee's football program had anything to do with the situation. The reported circumstances surrounding why Genrath became disgruntled are equally strange, including an incident involving Auburn's baseball Super Regional. CBS Sports' Brandon Marcello also reported details from people who received the emails, with one source describing the entire situation as "unhinged." There are still plenty of questions about exactly what information was distributed, who received it and what happens next. But during Auburn-Tennessee week, this has suddenly become one of the strangest Auburn football stories of the season. #AuburnFootball #AuburnTigers #SEC Photo Credit: Jake Crandall Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
