“Them NIL hit different” - CFB world reacts to Colorado WR Travis Hunter’s ginormous gift to mom

Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Travis Hunter, one of the success stories of the Name, Image, Likeness era, recently surprised his mom with a brand-new home in Savannah, Georgia.

Hunter shared a video of the house, boasting five bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, on his YouTube channel. He also captured his mom reading an emotional letter he had written. Hunter even revealed the strategic decision behind purchasing the property in Georgia.

He said he was relocating his mother to be closer to his girlfriend Leanna Lenee’s parents, which would simplify their visits. Additionally, it would afford him more time to indulge in his favorite pastime: fishing.

However, the CFB world has mixed reactions to Hunter's gesture.

Let's have a look at some of them:
