When North Dakota State University’s football players arrived at the [White House](http://time.com/5537033/donald-trump-alva-johnson/) on Monday to celebrate winning the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision, they were reportedly greeted with a spread of McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A. The Bison defeated the Eastern Washington Eagles 38-24 on Jan. 5 to take home the FCS title for the seventh time in eight seasons. > [](https://twitter.com/Laura%5FFigueroa/status/1102618121356087296) > [](https://twitter.com/abbydphillip/status/1102618418841374725) However, Trump’s fast food offering is apparently just the first course of the Bisons’ big day in D.C.
