On April 14, 2025, the Ohio State football team made their way to the White House to celebrate their 34-23 national championship victory over Notre Dame in the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff.

However, the event was marked by a memorable moment when Vice President JD Vance, an Ohio State graduate, fumbled the championship trophy while attempting to lift it.

The Ohio State football team visited the White House on April 14, 2025, as part of their celebration for their 34-23 national championship victory. However, the moment that stole everyone's attention was when Vice President JD Vance attempted to raise the coveted trophy.

Vance, an Ohio State graduate, accidentally dropped it. Still, he managed to hold up the top half of the trophy while the team posed for the pictures.

While the moment may have caused laughter, it is important to know that the trophy is supposed to come apart on purpose. Vance, then, posted on social media and jokingly said that he "decided to break the trophy" to make sure no one else could claim it after Ohio State's victory.

Other notable figures like President Donald Trump, Secretary of Defense Marco Rubio, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, and Lieutenant Governor Jim Tressel, also attended the event.
