Travis Kelce, an NFL superstar, and his brother Jason, also an NFL icon, were beaming with pride as they received their diplomas from the University of Cincinnati at the conclusion of a live podcast program.
The renowned American football twins put an end to a long-running prank when they received their honors, celebrating the occasion in their typical flamboyant style. Travis, the younger brother, was seen drinking a beer before shattering his cup on the ground, apparently delighted by the unexpected turn of events.
The brothers returned to Cincinnati for the event at Fifth Third Arena, which proved to be a spectacular night for all those in attendance as they interacted with luminaries like Joe Burrow and Desmond Ridder during the lengthy show. After four hours on stage, with their parents Donna and Ed watching, they received their diplomas to the joy of the passionate audience.
After a night in which the brothers also hosted a spelling contest and a rodeo, John Cunningham, the university’s director of athletics, restored control to the chaos. They presented the brothers with their honors while accompanied by the university’s president, Neville Pinto.
Travis, a Chiefs fan favorite who had just won the Super Bowl, took advantage of the opportunity to deliver an impromptu statement while receiving his degree. “To all my fellow students… before we make this thing official, I thought I’d give you guys some advice,” he said, armed with words of advice for his peers.
In an unexpected turn, the Chiefs veteran injected his address with some Beastie Boys wisdom, invoking their 1985 smash hit “You Gotta Fight.” For your rights. To PAAAAAAARTY,” and later typically added: “Cincinnati! We adore you all. “Don’t forget to get your degrees on the way out.”
Meanwhile, Travis’ brother Jason, who is infamous for never forgetting that he missed his trip to the graduation ceremony, looked to get caught up in the joyous atmosphere, confessing to being moved by the events of their triumphant return to Ohio for the successful live show. In a display of pride, he simply said, “This is a night to remember.”

The Bearcats’ official Twitter /X account praised the celebrity brothers as they took the stage, writing, “A surprise commencement we’ll never forget.” Congratulations to Travis and Jason on (finally) receiving their diplomas! “
Travis had already missed his opportunity to properly accept his accolades, which irritated his brother, who mocked him about it. In a flashback video, the retired Eagles star joked: “Travis is supposed to be graduating from Cincinnati this weekend,” adding: “It took him 12 years to graduate,” to which Travis responded: “You’re going to throw me under the bus like that?”
