Goofy joins his son on campus to achieve the degree. Meanwhile, Goofy doesn't take Max's leaving very well and suffers from empty nest syndrome, his depression causes him to lose his job at a toy factory, and so he is required to finish his senior year of college to obtain a degree before he is allowed to get better employment. A rivalry starts between Max's team and Bradley's Gammas, and they bet whoever loses in the finals will be towel-boy to the other. Bradley invites only Max to join his fraternity, but Max refuses to leave his friends behind. Upon arriving, Max is met by the 'Gamma Mu Mu' fraternity, who are the reigning X-Games champions, including their leader, Bradley Uppercrust III. He strives to work together with his friends to become the top team at the college X Games.

Max Goof, now nearly 18 years old, departs for college with his best friends P.J.
