Auburn is claiming another seven national titles, bringing its total to nine, multiple news outlets, including Auburn Undercover, reported Tuesday.
Why it matters: Auburn will "now align with the well-established standard used by the NCAA's official record book and our peers across the nation," per a statement from Athletic Director John Cohen provided to Axios Huntsville.
"For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program's storied history – choosing to recognize only Associated Press national championships," Cohen says in the statement.
"Starting this fall, we have made the decision to honor the accomplishments of our deserving student-athletes, coaches, and teams from Auburn's proud history."
The seven titles are: 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993 and 2004, per media reports.
