Bailey to Texas Tech.

Wonder how much they paid him…..

Wonder how the budget for paying players at TTech compares to TA&M and Texas?

The guy running the NIL program for Texas Tech sold his oil and gas company for $4Billion last year.  Since then, his primary focus has been TT athletics (he is also on the school’s Board of Regents).  Match his assets with an athletic dept that carefully developed a strategic plan to become the best transfer program in college football and you have the reasons for why they have accomplished their goal*. 

* At this point of the off-season, 247Sports has them listed as the #1 ranked team in the transfer portal.

and his wife was a softball player at TT which probably at least partially explains the deal for Canady

  yes it does, and they were specifically focus on the softball team starting with the hiring of a new coach who was very successful at their previous institution of higher education.
