This week, the Kelce brothers brought their podcast to their alma mater, and the live show ended with a surprise. It was a long-awaited graduation ceremony at the University of Cincinnati.
Travis and Jason Kelsey returned to the university Thursday night to record a live episode of their podcast “New Heights” in front of thousands of fans at Fifth Third Arena.
The live recording ended with a surprise graduation ceremony for the brothers. Meanwhile, the brothers wore classic graduation caps and gowns.
University of Cincinnati President Neville Pinto also wore traditional graduation attire to present the brothers with their diplomas, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Their parents, Donna Kelsey and Ed Kelsey, and UC Athletic Director John Cunningham also joined them on stage for the mini-ceremony.
After hugging Pinto and before grabbing his diploma, Travis Kelce downed a beer as the Beastie Boys' “Fight for Your Right” blared from the arena's speakers.
Jason Kelce attended UC from 2006 to 2010, and Travis Kelce attended UC from 2008 to 2012, according to the university. The brothers played soccer at school and he shared the field for two years as their education overlapped.
According to the Enquirer, Jason Kelce earned a degree in marketing but did not make it to graduation in time, and Travis Kelce completed his missed credits to earn a degree in interdisciplinary studies from the College of Arts and Sciences in 2022. It is said that it has been obtained.
“It was a surprise opening day you'll never forget,” the Cincinnati Bearcats said on social media along with a merry-go-round image of the event.
“Congratulations to Travis and Jason on (finally) receiving their diplomas!”
