Evidently Auburn had a "team vote" to eliminate the punishment for four players caught smoking marijuana (http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2016/07/4_auburn_players_arre...).
Despite punishing previous offenses for drug possession with short suspension, Gus Malzahn said the players would not miss time,
"because that's what I decided to do and I think that's the right thing to do."
This is not a major surprise considering that Auburn opens against Clemson.
