## Resource

Texas Tech is throwing down a bold challenge to Texas, offering to play them in Week 1 of the 2026 season — despite both teams already having scheduled games. The Red Raiders’ coach Joey McGuire hinted at the matchup, and a major donor, Cody Campbell, is footing the $2.4M buyout bill to free up Texas Tech’s opener against Abilene Christian and Texas’s game against Texas State. While Texas Tech had a stellar 2025 slate — beating BYU twice and Utah — Texas’s season was tougher with three losses, including to an unranked Florida team. But here’s the kicker: Texas State, already facing an FCS team later in September, could be hurt if Texas Tech swaps out their scheduled FCS game — since bowl eligibility rules cap one FCS win. This isn’t just a rivalry flex — it’s a scheduling chess match with big financial and eligibility stakes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
