WVU law student wins $100K in Dr. Pepper Tuition Giveaway

WVU law student Tyler Gordon won $100,000 in the Dr. Pepper Tuition Giveaway Saturday night at the Big Ten Championship game.

Finalists took the field during halftime to attempt to throw the most footballs into an oversized Dr. Pepper can in 30 seconds.

In a previous interview with The Dominion Post, Gordon joked, “I’m going to send the scholarship to my loan provider and take off a good portion of it.”

Gordon said law school tuition is around $20,000 and cost of living is around $20,000 a year for him. He’s in his third year with one semester to go.

In an interview after his victory, Gordon said, “Trust the climb, Mountaineer nation.”
