Stadium Shake-Up
Texas Tech just inked a landmark deal—Galaxy’s name will be on the football stadium starting in 2026. No word on the dollar figure, but it’s a signal the Red Raiders are playing the NIL and branding game at a new level.
Recruiting Curveball
Five-star Texas CB commit just reclassified to 2025, jumping straight to campus. The kid was a lock for ’26, so this move either means he’s ready early or the Longhorns’ staff is sweating the depth chart.
Pressure Cooker
- Arch Manning is the face of Texas’s title push, but the real heat belongs on Steve Sarkisian. The roster is stacked; if the offense stalls again, the seat gets warm.
- Lane Kiffin went dark on social media at SEC Media Days—refreshing, but LSU’s expectations don’t care about vibes. One bad Saturday and the “hot seat” chatter starts.
Ticket Watch
USC and Nebraska released 2026 schedules. Trojans’ premium matchups (vs. Alabama, at Ohio State) are already pushing six bills per seat; Huskers’ Memorial Stadium sellouts are still a lock, but the nosebleeds are creeping past $150 for cupcake games.
