  • TRANSFER PORTAL: Texas Tech's NIL IGNITES Playoff Hopes
    Apr 8 2025

    Texas Tech’s Transfer Portal haul was punctuated by its elite NIL spending. Defensive line and cornerback, in particular, include high-level talent and numbers who can propel the Red Raiders into the College Football Playoff. If they’re successful, will more B12 teams follow Texas Tech’s NIL spending pattern?

    The Portal Podcast breaks down why B12 schools must spend to contend for top Transfer Portal targets, and more importantly, win a higher rate of elite high school recruiting battles.

    To finish, Texas Tech’s 2025 football schedule is good news and bad news. I explain here on The Portal Podcast.
