LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) \u2014 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas Tech has signed a 15-year naming rights partnership with digital assets and infrastructure…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-378294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
