Travis and Jason both played for the Cincinnati Bearcats in college, but Kylie attended Cabrini University.
“I get it man. She doesn’t seem to care about uh, Cabrini, her college. She’ll wear University of Cincinnati. She’ll wear other universities but she won’t wear other NFL teams,” Jason explained.
