Pat McAfee Challenges Stephen A. Smith to $1 Million College GameDay Kick

Overview

• Stephen A. Smith praised McAfee’s College GameDay field‑goal contest on First Take and said he would consider trying a kick if he had time to train.
• Pat McAfee replied on social media with a public $1,000,000 to charity challenge asking Smith to appear on College GameDay.
• The contest’s return for the 2026 season remains unconfirmed because McAfee, who funds and runs the segment, has previously suggested it might end.
• Rece Davis has publicly deferred questions about the segment’s status to McAfee, and GameDay is scheduled to be in Baton Rouge for Week 1 which could affect guest appearances.
• The kicking contest has grown into a GameDay signature that blends spectacle and charity funding and a high‑profile appearance by Smith could raise donations and audience interest if McAfee brings the segment back.
