LUBBOCK, Texas \u2013 Texas Tech has signed a 15-year naming rights partnership with digital assets and infrastructure company Galaxy.<\/p>\n
Terms of the deal announced on Friday were not disclosed. The partnership will begin with the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
The Red Raiders\u2019 football stadium will be renamed Galaxy Stadium and the partnership will include NIL opportunities for Texas Tech student-athletes.<\/p>\n
The deal comes on the heels of a tumultuous time at Texas Tech surrounding quarterback Brendan Sorsby.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech planned to play Sorsby after he transferred from Cincinnati despite admitting to betting on games<\/a> as a freshman while at Indiana. <\/p>\n The quarterback ultimately abandoned a legal effort<\/a> to regain his eligibility after the NCAA suspended him for gambling and has said he will wait until next year to enter the NFL draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Texas Tribune reported<\/a> Texas Tech Board of Regents Chair Cody Campbell donated $274,300 to a fundraising committee supporting Texas attorney general Ken Paxton in his bid for U.S. Senate. Paxton sent a letter to the Big 12 the following day, saying that any attempts to sanction the university for fielding Sorsby would be \u201cunlawful\u201d and potentially expose it to $200 million in damages.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
