Talk about a full-circle Buckeye bash—the White House visit didn’t just mark a national championship celebration; it doubled as a bit of a homecoming for Vice President JD Vance. Turns out, the man second in command didn’t just shake hands with the Ohio State program—he once sprinted straight through its academic halls.
But here’s the kicker: JD Vance found himself in a bit of a blooper during what was supposed to be a celebratory moment at the White House on Monday. After the Ohio State Buckeyes won the College Football Playoff National Championship against Notre Dame, the Vice President took the opportunity to raise the team’s 3-foot trophy. The Marine Band performed the song “We Are the Champions.” While Vance tried lifting it, the trophy detached from its base and fell to the ground.
After that moment, the world gets to know about JD Vance’s connection with the Buckeyes. During the event, Trump handed Vance the mic with a grin and a glowing intro: “He was such a good student, he didn’t stay there for four years. He got out in two years, No. 1 in his class. How do you do that?” And on this one, Trump actually hit close to the mark—at least on speed. According to Vance’s own account in Hillbilly Elegy, he started at Ohio State in September 2007 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree by August 2009. That’s two years flat. Impressive? Absolutely. But the “No. 1 in his class” part stretches it. Vance did graduate summa cum laude, meaning a GPA of 3.9 or higher. That’s wild, right?
