Did Indiana actually pay more NIL than Alabama or Auburn? Probably not. Is their culture and evaluation better? Definitely.

Texas Tech is #14 in the overall recruiting ranks.

Overpaying for 2 or 3 5 star players is not the same thing as other schools not being able to afford them. It's those schools aren't dumb enough to spend all their money on a few players.

The best thing Texas Tech has going for it is the Big12 gets to keep pretending like it's a power conference.

Cody Campbell talking about “raising money” when it’s just him spending a frick ton of his own

He is using Indiana’s championship as if Tech won?

Didn’t Alabama make it as far as Texas Tech did this year?

Almost as embarrassing as announcing a 1M extension for a softball pitcher hours before the national title game, just for her to get bounced after the 1st inning.

At least A&M wasn’t the only team that failed to score a TD in the CFP..

And y’all actually put up a FG

I just checked. Yep, Texas Tech still has zero CFP wins. Ever.

It’s funny to me that Tim Cook is an Auburn grad but gives absolutely nothing to athletics

And he's using the worst rankings of all, the On3 transfer portal rankings, to justify them.

It cites Alabama, but Alabama is low because Alabama dropped 23 players, but only picked up 16(I thought it was 17, so whatever).

Which might make sense, if that was the only place you gained players. It's not.

I look at the page as a general guideline because it has incoming and outgoing numbers, which is useful and interesting. But as a ranking system, it's just dumb.

I guess Ohio St must be hurting after losing 31 and only picking up 16.

Miami is fricked next year, they are losing 11 and only have 4 signed.

Obviously some teams are more about developing talent and keeping their roster.

Only because Texas Tech got a bye week on their weak arse schedule.

Tim Cook is a queer who doesn't liket football and doesn't really care about Auburn. Being gay at uber-conservative Deep South ag school probably wasn't easy for him and he has PTSD.....hes too busy running Apple anyway.

Techtards have turned into the new Aggies - bragging all over social media about how much money they have without ever actually winning anything.
To Aggies credit, most of them changed their tune after Sumlin’s failure and Jimbo’s 2022 class.

Come back to me when Texas Tech can beat a meaningful opponent. Sorry but I’m unimpressed with their wins over Utah and a blowout loss to Oregon… no matter how much money this douche throws at their little program, they will still be Texas Tech.

Absolutely not true. He has attended many big Auburn football and basketball games during the past 10 years or so. He literally walked with that team through Tiger Walk for the Iron Bowl this season.

Campbell is kind of a dumbass if that is his take.

Auburn was 8 last year in portal ranking and is 12 this year (247 rankings) all while having coaching security issues and just overall struggling as a team to win game. If that is the "struggling" shade you want to throw, I can think of around 100 teams that must be "struggling' more

Auburn isn't going to be a top 5 NIL spend team, just don't have that kind of money, but will consistently be top 10-15.

For somebody who has PTSD from attending Auburn he sure does come back a lot.
