Travis Kelce has gotten used to getting caught in a deluge of confetti in recent years. He wouldn't have it any other way.
The Chiefs star took to the stage Thursday for a live production of his "New Heights" podcast alongside older brother Jason. The show brought them back to their old stomping grounds at the University of Cincinnati.
The live podcast, held at Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena, was an exciting watch for the average fan, who got to see Kelce No. 1 and Kelce No. 2 mingle with a crowd of adoring spectators.
The brothers made sure to end their showcase in style, too, calling upon Dr. Neville Pinto — the University of Cincinnati's president — in their attempts to turn a lifelong dream into reality. Here's what you need to know.

Did Travis Kelce graduate college?
Kelce was already a college graduate, having completed his final credit hours to complete his degree in interdisciplinary studies from the College of Arts and Sciences back in 2022.
But he had yet to receive his diploma — until Thursday.
On Thursday, Kelce, draped in a cap and gown, took to the stage one last time at the live show to receive his degree.
In true Kelce fashion, he had to do it in his own special way. He strutted to the lectern with vigor, left hand firmly grasping a cold brew. After exchanging pleasantries with Dr. Pinto, Kelce chugged a beer, spiked it into the shadow realm, then lifted his certificate up towards the rafters before posing with Pinto one last time.
Receiving a diploma…Travis Kelce style

He was soon joined by his older brother in the celebrations; Jason hadn't received his diploma, either, opting against attending the commencement ceremony despite earning his marketing degree. Their parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, also took to the platform, as did Cincinnati athletic director John Cunningham.

While Travis and Jason Kelce already received doctorates on the gridiron, Thursday's event proved another indication of the Kelce family's growing domination over the sporting sector. And that domination doesn't look to be stopping any time soon.
