Texas Tech Matador Club

Posted by SI on June 13, 2025, 1:13 pm

Texas Tech used travel softball coach(es) and Matador Club money to entice the exact players they wanted from other programs.

I always heard Texas was able to out spend anyone. I guess there’s a new posse in town.

The Matador money is coming from the Kansas City Chiefs football team, and Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is a big fan of women's sports and is a Texas Tech alum.

This is my thought and I have no proof. Patrick Mahomes is the 14th highest paid QB in the NFL. The Chiefs are donating money to Texas Tech because Patrick Mahomes is underpaid in comparison to other QB's in the NFL. In my head this is way for the Chiefs to give more money to Patrick Mahomes and avoid impact towards the NFL's salary cap.

The bulk of the Matador Club money is coming from Cody Campbell, the co-founder and co-owner of the independent oil and natural gas company Double Eagle.

If you read their bio's it's like an episode of Landman.

Double Eagle and @Double Eagle were both close.
Matador Club is changing name to the Texas Tech Red Raider Club. Patrick Mahomes is a donor and alumni of Texas Tech but the bulk of the NIL money comes from Campbell and John Sellers and wife Tracy.

Tracy Seller is one of the speakers at Empowering Girls for Life on August 9th at the Westin Hotel in Lombard.

Hopefully someone asks her about the involvement of offering players in season.

Nobody on the TTSB coaching staff offered anybody during the season. That’s the twist.

Not tampering, as it is written. And the MC didn't do it directly. They used a liaison.

On top of what they have already spent, they are throwing around a lot of money.

I wonder if she will get plunked the first time she sees them with a 78 mph heater.
