Texas Tech is a fine school. Beautiful town . Largest college campus in Texas . I’m a Texas fan . All my money went & goes to Texas . Longhorn fan till my last breath . But Texas Tech is a fine conservative minded school. Offer great educational opportunities.

I’ve never heard anyone describe Lubbock as a “beautiful town.” In fact, I’d describe it as a shithole

You definitely have that right ! I just obviously don’t agree with your definition of Lubbock. 
Had two nieces graduate from TT . They enjoyed the school.  
My daughter is an attorney & she graduated from The University of Texas . We love the Longhorns.

But neither one of them stayed there, right??  🤔

$2.2 million (if true) is a stupid amount of money but let tech pay it. I don’t know how far apart Texas and tech were on NIL here, but you can argue that the real life changing wealth comes from getting drafted in the higher rounds. Texas is proving its ability to get players drafted in those rounds. I don’t know how much development or exposure tech can provide here. 

I would have been disappointed if Texas offered anything over $500K.

He has a degree from Stanford so he set for life after football. He is getting 2 million dollars to live in Lubbock for for 6-7 months.Thats a easy decision.

I read he has not matriculated from Stanford??   😉

Might be easier to get stats at Texas when you aren’t double teamed every play.   Tech impressive haul through transfer portal.   I’m gonna lay some money on them to make playoff.  

Tough bet as their only path to the CFP is to win the mediocre 12.  I believe they were favored last year but stumbled mid season.

I would have guessed he needs to finish spring semester classes to graduate in May/June (?) but don't really know for sure.  I personally wouldn't leave Stanford a few classes shy of a degree unless there were megabucks involved, but if this is the case then perhaps he plans on returning to finish the degree later?  Especially if he could do it online (I've taken several Stanford classes on Coursera (which was founded by two Stanford professors) and at Stanford Online - great classes but pretty rigorous).

Absolutely. We have much bigger portal needs. I would prefer to spend the big bucks on WR, TE, or DT.

Even though he was a dynamic pass rusher at Stanford, he was never a 3-down starter. He played fewer snaps (by almost 100) than Trey Moore last season. With Simmons likely taking an increasing share of those snaps at Buck, seems unlikely Bailey would have gotten the higher snap count that he wants.

I have no such thing. Look at the number of players drafted in recent years from both programs. If you think his exposure at Tech is that same then I don’t know what to tell you.

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read on here!

To you perhaps. There’s a lot more money on the line than the incremental amount Tech is paying this year. And Stanford + Texas is much better for post football than Stanford + Tech.

something to be said for that bird in hand.
