Dr Pepper is not just one of the most popular sodas on the market today. It is also beloved for the annual Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway events that dominate Championship Weekend.

During halftime of the major conference championship games, a pair of students compete live on the field for a chance to win tuition money from Dr Pepper. On Saturday, that included students identified as Ryan and Gavin dueling it out during the Big 12 Championship.

“That’s amazing, Dr Pepper’s the best,” said Greg McElroy. “Love them for that, and I’m going to drink 15 Dr Pepper’s like Forrest Gump.”
