Both contestants awarded tuition scholarship after Big 12 halftime challenge sparks controversy


The Texas Longhorns kept their hopes of making it to the College Football Playoff alive on Saturday by dominating Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Championship game. At halftime, two college students took the field for the annual Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway challenge. Dr Pepper later acknowledged that a "technical error" happened during the contest and announced that both students would be awarded $100,000. "In a dramatic double OT Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway during the Big 12 Conference championship game, an on-field technical error resulted in an inaccurate accounting of the double tie break," the company said in a statement. "As such, Dr Pepper will recognize both finalists as grand prize winners with both receiving the 100k award in tuition," the statement continued.
