In 2020, the Hintons formed College Football Parents 247, which began as a resource to help parents get information about university COVID policies affecting athletes. Today, they are helping parents gain a stronger voice in college sports and focusing on other pressing concerns of college athletes, including mental health. The Hintons note that the Big Ten Conference plans to start a Parents Council, which ostensibly would be the first group of its kind in college sports.
