I can see why Texas Tech is full of drama

I guess it's inevitable for players to move around in this new portal/NIL era, but I really don't like the way Texas Tech has navigated this. There was so much drama because the players they poached were mostly from really good teams and they poached their stars. Florida, UCLA, Tennesee - they're not just getting players that were struggling for playing time on their teams (e.g., LeGette) or players that just wanted to move up to higher competition (e.g. Foster), Texas Tech was poaching the stars of WSWS-caliber teams. Really leaves a bad taste. Maybe all teams will move that way; in the meantime, I really hope Texas Tech looses.

It’s not the money spent, it’s the tampering/cheating
VTsportscaster 06/03/26 10:05 AM ET
Sure. Isn’t that the NCAA’s issue though?
hokiepro 06/03/26 12:36 PM ET
If you think the SEC were the only ones cheating, agree to disagree
