It was the perfect sequence to sum up the delightfully mad world of March Madness: a bit of madness, a sprinkling of confusion, and even a dash of celebrity involvement. That’s what unfolded as the NCAA Tournament began to fire up, and McNeese faced off with Purdue. In true March Madness fashion, McNeese student manager Amir Khan found himself on the wrong side of a fan meltdown.
Fans took to social media frustrated Khan was sitting next to film director Spike Lee during the game, pointing the finger that he wasn’t concentrating on his managing role, as the Cowboys trailed by 18 points in halftime.
One fan explicitly wrote on X, “Amir Khan is sitting next to Spike Lee – neglecting his managing duties?? Your team’s down 16 bro!” The fan response underscores a larger sentiment among college sports fans regarding the influence of student managers. While Khan’s infectious personality and viral off-court exploits have shined a spotlight on McNeese, there is growing skepticism that a student manager’s notoriety should take precedence over the team’s success.
