For the past 2 years, I've started the thread about the Tuition Giveaway can set that Dr. Pepper does, and for 2014.... I've found NOTHING YET! They have the promotion out on their website, so if anyone sees any new cans, PLEASE POST ABOUT THEM - I will start looking hard also. Now I did find 1 can: This is a Dr. Pepper / ESPN "On the Championship Drive" can - Dr. Pepper has put up TONS of money to be the official sponsor for the college championship football game, so I'm sure they will put many promotions out on cans (hopefully) An interesting note about this can - the silver "background" on the pictures has all kinds of white spots/"dust" on it - this is part of the picture, same on every can - not sure why they made it look this way, looks kind of bad in my opinion.

These must be just coming out. Not all stores had them. I did see Diet Dr Pepper Cherry cans with this promo.

As an additional side note: There are AT LEAST 2 designs for this can - one above with the ball above his head, and another with the ball near his shoulder (getting ready to throw pass).
For the above head, I got Pepper, Diet Pepper, Pepper Ten, and Cherry Pepper - and just found regular Pepper with the other design. I'll try to post pictures of what I have so far.

Cans found so far - The Pepper TEN doesn't have the "ESPN on the Championship Drive" Logo. Also found 2 different Pepper cans - one catching ball above head, and one getting ready to throw ball.

macoan - Good catch (pun intended) with the passing design! I had already stopped looking for others. In addition to the ones you have already mentioned, I found the first design on Diet Cherry. I wish they had included the drink flavor logo in the football side of the can. These are all going to look the same on a shelf.

Did your TEN can not have the ESPN logo? Find it strange that just one can would have a different football logo.

*sigh* - hate finding cans not available in my area - Well looks like some SEC cans in SEC football area of the country. I'm in the BIG TEN area, so don't have access to these (found this can on ebay)

I live in an SEC town, but our DP cans don't have that SEC logo on them. I ended up finding the SEC cans in another city south of here. Must be only certain bottlers doing it. Is there a BIG TEN logo can? Did you find any with other conferences? Dr Pepper is/was a major sponsor of BIG XII, just as they are a sponsor of the SEC.
Finally got around to checking my DP TEN cans last night. No, they don't have the ESPN logo. They have the Playoff design like on the outside of the 12pk carton. Sure is a lot of variations in this promotion. I'm gonna have enough soda to "float a battleship around".
As always, I'm more than happy to trade.

I haven't seen any Big Ten cans yet, but found a new 2014 Bears Dr. Pepper can on eBay - which I know where they sell it, it's about an hour drive - so think I'll make another day trip soon to pick up that (and of course be on the lookout for others.)
I'll probable be trading soon - we are buying a new property, in which I plan to build a workshop/"Man Cave" where I'll get my collection out of storage, and hopefully get things organized and start trading again.... will still be a few months (maybe more depending how fast I can get things built.)

Good find on the 3rd design. DP is on pace to have more different cans in this promotion than they had in all of the Tuition Giveaway. I think 9 different cans was the biggest of those. And I'm still wondering if there are some more conference cans that are just a little late in production. Technically, we are only 2 or 3 weeks into the college football season. The Championship is still a long way off.

I have found a 4th design, the "Dr.Pepper Football Guy taunting the Can Collector Michael because of all the different designs they are putting out to make him buy more Dr. Pepper" can design (But for Short, will call it the Chest Pounding Design.)
