Moving ahead, he gets into a deep conversation about how this huge amount of money might impact the rankings and make things even more complicated with future conferences. He mentioned how players are never going to see $116 million but they should at least give them around $100,000.

Know that’s what happened when schools signed for these conferences. That’s what happened. They get their money out of you. That’s why we went to the Big 12. They did get us. They thought they were slick. I’m owning to y’all. They said, Oh yeah, Colorado might be good. We’re going to gamble with them right now. Get us to that playoff.” He further sarcastically added, “Thank you. 116 mil, thank you, no, but they probably got to pay the coaches, though you know the coaches might get a little raise.”

As we said earlier, Hunter is known for his boldness, and he has a personality that is not going to keep quiet if he thinks something is going wrong. He had to highlight how schools are making strategic decisions to join certain conferences for financial gain. He tried to point out that schools are benefiting, but the athletes are bearing the brunt of this exploitation. Hunter has done his part by raising his voice.

Can we see other players joining him? He concluded by saying, “We don’t care about the money right now. We are trying to win something. We got a bigger go than the money right now.” Sure, Hunter, we have seen a new Colorado this season. As Hunter said, his vision is bigger than money moving forward. Let’s see if he gets closer to the Heisman Trophy after his performance this week.

Dual-threat Travis Hunter shines again

After their bye week, we witnessed the Colorado Buffs dominating Texas Tech in Week 11, but they were struggling to defeat Utah at home. However, they managed to win their eighth game this season, 49-24, and now they are one step closer to securing a spot in the Big 12 title game and a safe seat in the College Football Playoff.

CFB rarely gets to see Shedeur Sanders starting with an interception; however, it did not affect the team much only because Utah’s offense only secured a field goal and allowed them to take control all over again.

How can someone keep Hunter away from the game? He stood again, showcasing his dual abilities and made a crucial 28-yard catch on fourth down before halftime. He also recorded this third interception of the 2024 season, caught a deflected pass and returned it 21 yards. He ended the game with a touchdown run. Coach Prime is vouching for him to win the Heisman. With one more strong performance, he is now even closer to the title. Is he taking the title home?
