The free chicken sandwich promotion for missed free throws has been scrapped from Purdue basketball this season. It was a disappointing development for many.
There's a disappointing development out of West Lafayette: the free chicken sandwich promotion during Purdue men's basketball games is going away.reported the sad news on Wednesday night before the Boilermakers' exhibition game against Grand Valley State.
Last season, fans attending Purdue basketball games would receive a free chicken sandwich from the restaurant Slim Chickens if an opponent missed two free throws during a trip to the foul line. It was a promotion that fans — especially students in The Paint Crew — loved. But, unfortunately, it didn't continue into the 2024-25 season. It's almost like they want college students to starve.Free fries for 2 missed FTs by opponents courtesy of The TapThere is some good news, though. Carmin did report that a pair of missed free throws will result in a free order of fries from The Tap — which has a location in West Lafayette.
So, at least fans have something to be excited about when it comes to missed free throws at Mackey Arena this year. It's better than nothing, right? The promotion for free fries will begin on Monday, Nov. 4 as Purdue hosts Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the season opener. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET and the game will air on Big Ten Network.Related stories on Purdue basketball: CJ Cox didn't receive many offers as a high school recruit.
