A host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" has criticized Pat McAfee's growing role on ESPN's "College GameDay" program. The criticism comes as McAfee, a former NFL punter turned media personality, continues to feature prominently on the popular college football pregame show.
McAfee was photographed holding up a "Y" during a "College GameDay" broadcast near Heritage Halls on the Brigham Young University campus in Provo, Utah, on October 17, 2026. The segment highlighted his increasing involvement with the show.
