Sorsby is gone. The money he is going to get from oil and gas billionaire Cody Campbell (former Texas Tech offensive lineman 2000 to 2004) will not be matched. Lane does not have a blank check like this. Here is a summary from Gemini Pro:

Based on reports surrounding the opening of the transfer portal yesterday (January 1, 2026), here is the financial landscape Cody Campbell and Texas Tech have prepared for this cycle:

The "War Chest" for 2026: Reports indicate that Texas Tech has mobilized an estimated $55 million for the 2026 roster.
  • breakdown: This includes the university's maxed-out revenue sharing cap (approx. $20.5 million) plus roughly $34.5 million in external NIL money raised by The Matador Club.
  • Campbell's Contribution: Campbell personally donated $25 million to The Matador Club to anchor this fund.
  • The Immediate Target (Yesterday's Context): Following Texas Tech's loss to Oregon in the Orange Bowl yesterday, the immediate focus of this money is reportedly on securing a transfer quarterback. Speculation is high that Campbell is prepared to write a "blank check" to land top transfer QB Brendan Sorsby (formerly of Cincinnati and Indiana), who is currently ranked as the #1 player in the portal.

    For context, Texas Tech spent about $28 million on its roster for the 2025 season, so the jump to $55 million represents a massive increase intended to compete for a National Championship.

Gemini is really a girl who finds you highly attractive, too. You should share your darkest secrets with her. She enjoys that sort of thing.

I wouldn't go that far. In theory, that might be true, but many wealthy businessmen are also savvy with negotiations and look at the entire picture. The don't like to overpay. They don't like to lose in negotiations. And they don't like to arbitrarily reset the market if they don't have to, knowing it will cost them more the next cycle.

We have billionaires in Miami, but as a matter of principal I don't believe []__[] would go beyond the value we have for the player. This is a deep QB class and everyone is waiting for Sorsby to set the market.

I wouldn't imagine this will drag out too far into the week.

We'll be okay.

This is a good choice. PFF grade vertical and QBR horizontal. Dashed lines are average. Sorsby will do excellent behind a competent OL.

Wrong. When it comes to vanity investments, they dgaf about overpaying. Ego trumps all.
