Purdue University has fired head football coach Ryan Walters after just two seasons, following a 66-0 loss to rival Indiana.

The decision was confirmed by multiple sources, with the university set to owe Walters a buyout of nearly $9.6 million as per his contract. Purdue Athletic Director Mike Bobinski issued a statement on the firing, expressing gratitude for Walters' commitment to the university despite the challenges faced.
