Travis Kelce’s Admission Gets Blunt Response From Caitlin Clark

Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce and Caitlin Clark threw out a lot of sports takes on their highly-anticipated episode of the Kelce brothers' "New Heights" show on Thursday, but none were as touchy as the topic of Michigan and Ohio State.

As a Big Ten sports legend, former Iowa standout Clark had no choice but to call out the Kansas City Chiefs tight end when he admitted his controversial stance on the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry.

The younger Kelce brother was exposed by older brother Jason and issued a blunt warning by Clark, but that didn't stop him from doubling down on his opinion that was sure to rub some diehard fans the wrong way.

The trio were discussing Clark's "sad " recruitment process, at which point the topic shifted to their dream schools when they were younger. The Indiana Fever guard was originally infatuated with Notre Dame basketball before she committed to the Hawkeyes.

Jason Kelce agreed that Notre Dame was a dream school of his, although he ended up on the University of Cincinnati football team playing with his brother. However, Travis pinpointed Ohio State as his favorite growing up. The conversation begins at the 1:40 mark of the following clip.

“Ohio State was probably the one school that as a kid I was like, 'That’s the school,'” said the Chiefs' star.

“No, you liked Michigan," interrupted Jason. "You were always a Michigan fan."

Appalled by the idea of playing both sides, Clark exclaimed, “You can’t like Michigan and Ohio State!”

Michigan and Ohio State first met on the football field in 1897, but the 2024 edition of "The Game" was one of the fiercest in recent memory. Emotions erupted at the end of the game when Michigan planted a flag in the turf at Ohio Stadium after handing the Buckeyes their second loss of the season.

Jason tried to soften how bad his brother looked on the show by giving him excuses. He was young. He just liked the helmets. He only cheered for the Michigan hockey team. Kelce had no interest in backing down from his stance.

“The thing is I can [like both], and I did,” Travis said, cackling. “I didn’t go to either one of them, so it’s all good.”

Clark couldn't stop Kelce from putting his foot in his mouth, but she recognized how sensitive of a topic he had just breached and warned him about what he just admitted.

"Michigan and Ohio State fans are not going to be happy about that,” Clark warned.
