Pat McAfee to pay for WVU student’s tuition thanks to unbelievable Deuce McBride shot
Published:
The Pat McAfee Show was live from Morgantown, West Virginia on Friday in anticipation of the Mountaineers’ massive Week 1 showdown against Penn State.
McAfee brought in former West Virginia basketball star (and current New York Knick) Deuce McBride to be a guest on the show. But more notably, he gave McBride the opportunity to hit a shot from long range — estimated to be beyond half-court — with a WVU student’s tuition on the line.
McBride drained the shot over hundreds of WVU fans who were in attendance at the show:

This was not McAfee’s only philanthropic contribution of the day. He also announced plans to donate $1 million to the West Virginia NIL collective in honor of the Mountaineer teams that he played on during his collegiate career.
McBride was a 2nd round pick out of West Virginia in the 2021 NBA Draft. He’s become a solid NBA role player, as he averaged nearly 20 minutes per game last season for a Knicks team that captured the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
West Virginia and Penn State will face off at 12 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
