The Price of Ego: Purdue's AD Flies Too Close to the Wind The recent gaffe by Purdue's athletic director, Tommy McClelland, has sparked a mix of amusement and concern among college sports fans.
During his introductory press conference, McClelland made a lighthearted jab at Indiana University, suggesting that if one doesn't want to win championships, they should attend IU instead.
The quip quickly backfired, with many perceiving it as unprofessional and unnecessary. McClelland's attempt to poke fun at the Boilermakers' rivalry with the Hoosiers was doomed from the start.
