Tommy McClelland to Lead Purdue Athletics | Purdue Boilermakers Basketball News

Purdue is poised to name Tommy McClelland as its next athletic director — a rising star who turned heads at Rice and shattered age records early in his career. Just 26 when he became McNeese’s youngest AD, McClelland has since engineered $300M in facility upgrades at Vanderbilt and boosted revenue by over $1.2M at Louisiana Tech — all while turning around programs and energizing fanbases. Now, he’s set to lead Purdue’s football rebuild under coach Barry Odom, bringing his proven revenue-savvy expertise to a critical moment in college sports. An official announcement is expected within 24 hours. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
