Stephen A. Smith criticizes Purdue AD's comments on Indiana football

Stephen A. Smith publicly criticized Purdue University’s new athletic director, Tommy McClelland, after he made comments about Indiana football during his introductory press conference. McClelland stated that recruits who do not want to win championships should go to Indiana, a team that had a remarkable turnaround under coach Curt Cignetti. Indiana recently dominated Purdue 56-3 and won a national championship, making McClelland's remarks seem ill-timed and misguided. Smith emphasized Purdue's recent struggles, noting their poor records over the past two seasons. McClelland later attempted to clarify his comments, acknowledging his mistake and emphasizing his championship ambitions for Purdue.
