The fact he’s looking at TT goes to show you he’s not all about winning, it is an obvious money grab. Which I’m fine with, but it was pretty funny how adamant people were that it’s not about money with Koi.

So far online I've read many reasons for his decision:
that it’s not about money;
that it is about money;
that it’s about winning;
that it’s not about winning;
that it’s about exposure;
that it’s about development;
that it’s about securing the best draft position;
that that he dislikes the defensive coordinator;
...and, I've even read that he wants to go somewhere hot and where the chicks are even hotter.

I don't know, or even pretend to know.

It’s like going to play for James Madison or Tulane….

Unlike James Madison and Tulane, Texas Tech retained the services of their Head Coach and have deep pockets (reservoirs) of NIL funds.

They also just acquired the services of the #1 QB available in the portal.

I like their odds of sustaining the recent trend of winning.

They do, but I hope they didn’t over pay for Sorsby, there’s no way he lives up to that ranking. The recruiting sites evaluation of transfer QBs is not very good imo.

Not many people give up money to chase wins prior to already being paid.

At least Oregon isn't on the schedule for the next two seasons.
2027 home game against Ohio State is likely the only realistic chance of a return game.

....or vs Texas Tech in the 2026 Fiesta Bowl.

Two seasons? Doesn't matter. He's going pro after next season.

I have zero doubt they'll be back in the CFP next season. But playing in the B12 is a huge step down from playing in the B1G/SEC.

Not if he has another season like this one.

I think he is going to the NFL after next year regardless. Might not be the best career decision but he has more-or-less said that college and college football are not for him. His goal is to play in the NFL. I think he already has his mind set on 3 years.

Take that with a grain of salt. I've never talked to the kid.

SMU was NOT an isolated incident. If you believe that, you're terribly naive. They got the death penalty because they were seemingly unable to keep it hidden and got caught with their hand in the cookie jar multiple times.

The entire SWC, with the exception of Rice, were under some sort of sanctions at one point or another for football. And I've mentioned many times that UCLA basketball players were being paid by a bag man through pretty much Wooden's entire tenure.

Oh stop it. Players have been paid, but how many death penalties have been doled out over the years? The needle went so far into the red at SMU that it busted the meter.

I'm old. I know players who were if not directly paid, were given "just show up" jobs in the summer. I met someone from Ed Shuttlesworth's neighborhood in Cincinnati who recounted to me the bidding war to land Ed's college services (all it took was a fur coat). So don't call me naive. I know that cheating and payments and academic crap (the only way Bud Grant would have showed up in class is if it were held in a duck blind or ice fishing house) have gone on for years.

Buit everyone seems to be driving past my main point. The difference between then and now is that there is a new paradigm where all are competing for talent every year with revenue sharing and formal NIL money footing the bill and opportunities for players to participate annually through the portal to get the best deal possible.

He can say that all he wants. He's still going to have to have a good season next year to get drafted.

You just don't end up in the NFL because you were rated highly out of HS and had a good Freshman year.

Texes Tech went 11-2, won the Big 12 and went to the CFP.

That's a lot of winning.

Against bottom tier P4 competition. Perfect conference for his arm tackling and unwillingness to face a real challenge and become a better player (and chase stats and cash).

In four years we'll be hearing about how he won the Arena Football 1 defensive player of the year for the Minnesota Monsters.

I admit to not being a football expert, but my viewing of Perich this season was one of seeing a kid who was not a strong tackler. If he doesn't improve and start sticking his hit, he won't play in the NFL. At least not as a safety.
