The site breaks news once a week on average, whether it is something as small as injury news or a pending coaching change.
Auburn Undercover covers all things Auburn athletics, but primarily focuses on football and basketball. With the emergence of softball as a big sport on campus after back-to-back trips to the Women’s College World Series, more resources have been put into covering that sport. The website also hosts guest columns from former players and conducts a weekly analysis piece breaking down X’s and O’s. The site also includes many studio-quality videos produced in the home offices through CBS Sports for added quality for every story.
Unique monthly page views vary, but the average for the year is Category C: “40,000-100,000 circulation; stand-alone websites with
250,000 to 750,000 unique monthly visitors.”
