Report: Auburn settles on Buffalo's Greene as next AD

Auburn has chosen Buffalo's Allen Greene to serve as its next athletic director, pending approval from the school's board of trustees, Brandon Marcello of 247 Sports reports.

Greene, who will become the third African-American athletic director in SEC history if officially hired, has been in charge of Buffalo's athletic department since November 2015.

At only 40 years old, he'll inherit a men's basketball program facing great uncertainty due to the recruiting scandal that was broken open by the FBI.

The football program is in more stable condition, as coach Gus Malzahn signed a new long-term contract at the end of the 2017 season.
