clt will not speak poorly of our future conference

Texas Tech’s $milion pitcher attempts to intentionlly walk a Longhorn hitter with runners on second and third, misses and throws one over the plate resulting in a two run scoring single.

Patrick Mahomes Minus $1 million

Yep, in spite of the outcome in OKC, that $1M investment by TTU has more than paid for itself. So much so that the Red Raiders re-newed it for another season.

If I’m not mistaken, it was always a two year commitment on TT’s end, if not on her end.

A Faustian deal if there ever was one. Good for her, though.

clt asks in what ways has it paid off? that is the problem with NIL. no true ROI

Not Mahomes. Just another new money Billionaire who can not buy into the good ol boys pro teams racjet so instead buys a college team instead.

Knows how to play the politics game also. He is the co chair with Saban on college commission on sports moving forward.

FWIW, Campbell is a fourth-generation TTU alum - a great-grandfather was a member of the schools’s first graduating class - who played football for the Red Raiders, earning both all conference and all academic honors as a four year OL letterman. So his connection to his alma mater - from which he holds three business-related degrees - is genuine.

BTW, wasn’t aware he had been in the market for a professional team.

Also been pretty funny watching Saban downplay the nascent college sports commission!

No need to look into the pro market. It is saturated with a set group/ club of players but I think you understood the statement so whatever. Carry on.

There’s a Niner connection to the Chanticleers as former student manager and Charlotte alum, Jordan Bowman serves as equipment manager for Coastal. :call_me_hand:

Niner connection at UTSA

This is the frustrating part of it all for me. If CC can do this why the hell can’t we?

They are definitely ahead of us in terms of infrastructure. I don’t know about their NIL situation.

Congratulations Arizona Wildcats

Was visiting friends in Auburn this weekend. Ended up picking up some cheap seats and saw the game yesterday.

Honestly, they should have won by more.
