University Scholarship Application Replaced With Beast Games Season 2

On Thursday, members of Texas A&M University’s administration made the shocking announcement that they have partnered with Jimmy Donaldson, known by his online name MrBeast, to produce the second season of “Beast Games” on campus this summer in lieu of the University Scholarship Application cycle. 

In the wake of MrBeast’s new hit television series, it seems that high-ranking university officials were just as fixated on their screens as the rest of us.

“A bunch of coworkers came over to my place to binge all the “Beast Games” episodes, and it just hit me,” Scholarships and Financial Aid Office staffer Ainsley Parker said. “Why would we want to make our lives harder this year by reading thousands of essays that were obviously written five minutes before the deadline? This way, the students who get scholarships are the ones smart enough to swindle this Jimmy guy out of a few thousand dollars.”

MrBeast will be recreating several of the more popular challenges from the first season of “Beast Games” in ways that incorporate Aggie culture. This includes placing a brand-new Tesla on the train tracks at the intersection of George Bush Drive and Wellborn Road and seeing if money-hungry students are willing to let it get run over and stop traffic for a shot at a full-ride scholarship.

Instead of constructing an entire city, however, Donaldson reportedly plans to tear down the FHK Complex on the north side of campus over the summer and replace it with several dormitories decorated in the style of MrBeast himself. As part of Donaldson’s corporate partnership with A&M, there will be no cost for students to live in these dormitories on account of the shame that comes with living in a dorm decorated by MrBeast.

When asked by Mugdown representatives about the filming timeline for “Beast Games” season two, Donaldson was quick to emphasize that it would not interfere with the university’s class schedule.

“Only losers would show up to campus over the summer anyway, but we’re trying our best to be accommodating,” Donaldson said. “Also, here’s $5,000.”
