According to the Scarlet Knight, the purpose of the trip was to film a commercial for ESPN’s flagship program, SportsCenter.
Guess where I'm headed right now to shoot a commercial!! Here's a hint, it starts with an E and rhymes with Tea-mess-free-pen

By all accounts, it was a successful shoot.
That's a wrap from the worldwide leader! Stay glued to @espn to see your favorite mascot #RaiseHigh pic.twitter.com/uuAmqU47Js
