During a recent segment of The Coach JB Show with Big Smitty, a Colorado alum expressed his criticism of Travis Hunter’s decision to get married at a young age. “Travis Hunter getting married. Congratulations, bro. But you just got in the line to lose half of your s**t, and you’re not even 21 years old yet,” the alum said. “Personally, if my son walked up to me and said he’s getting married in college, I would slap him until he was purple and be like, ‘Are you out of your mind? What’s wrong with you, dog?’ But that’s not my kid, so you know.”
The alum’s candid remark translates that Hunter has put himself in danger of losing half of his NIL assets, emphasizing the risks of getting married at the age of 20, while he’s still in college. Notably, Coach JB echoed similar sentiments and highlighted the advantages of the NIL scene in college football.
