Dr. Pepper addresses tuition giveaway controversy after social media outcry

The sponsored Dr. Pepper tuition giveaways at halftime of various conference championship games have become something of a viral sensation in recent years, which led to Saturday’s edition at the Big 12 Championship sparking quite the furor.

The two contestants for Saturday’s contest, Gavin and Ryan, actually tied and were forced to go to an overtime round. The overtime round also ended up tied, which Ryan winning on a sudden death toss.

There was one problem, however. Several eagle-eyed viewers noted that the scorekeeping in overtime had gone horribly wrong and that Gavin should have won outright. The video made that pretty clear.
