Why did auburn and Alabama not play not play against each other from 1907 to 1948 what took place to prevent them from playing?

Auburn and Alabama did not play each other from 1907 to 1948 primarily due to a rivalry and disagreements over scheduling and policies regarding college athletics. The cessation of their rivalry was exacerbated by issues related to the Alabama Intercollegiate Athletic Association's regulations, as well as concerns over player safety and eligibility. Additionally, both schools were focused on establishing their own football programs independently during this period. The rivalry was eventually rekindled in 1948, leading to the resumption of their annual games.
