If you’re going to take millions from a booster who is helping fund your football team, you should expect pushback when you fail to live up to expectations.
For those who haven’t noticed, we are no longer living in our fathers’ or grandfathers’ era of college athletics, when bags of money were dropped off on the back doorstep.
The $100 handshakes are still prevalent, but they’re essentially the equivalent of walking into a bar and dropping a dollar into the tip jar.
So when Texas Tech booster, and chairman of the board of regents, Cody Campbell takes to social media to comment on the Red Raiders’ loss to Cincinnati this past weekend, I can assure you he is trying to assure those who critique the program that this type of result isn’t what he's paying for.
"There is no excuse or reason to lose a game like this. We have to be better. @TexasTechFB," Campbell wrote in a post on X.
That statement was from a man who has poured millions into the Texas Tech football team in order to compete for a national championship this season. So, when this "owner" decides to vent his frustration for the world to see, I can promise you he means it.
Remember the term "return on investment" in relation to donors putting their money to use with the only real return is seeing their favorite team hoist a trophy at seasons end?
This is essentially where Cody Campbell is at when he takes to social media to let it be known that a performance like that is not acceptable for a man who is writing the checks every month.
That brings us to the current state of college athletics, where the once outside voices who contributed without getting a final say in roster moves outside of helping pay a player's salary are now influential voices that in some cases speak for the programs they help fund.
You think Texas Tech football coach Joey McGuire isn’t having conversations this week with Cody Campbell on piecing together the roster for 2027, or renegotiating deals with current players for a return next season?
I can assure you those talks have, and will continue, to take place over the next three months.
And, I promise you they are happening all across the country between high-dollar boosters and football coaches looking for the money needed to secure the next transfer portal addition.
While there is this pressure to hold onto what once was in college athletics, the 'pureness' of a sport that was a majority of the time still breaking the rules in some form or fashion through parking lot deals or the funneling of money to an athletes family, the world is obviously changing in short order.
So, it should not come as shock when a more-involved booster who was also at the forefront of the Brendan Sorsby saga this past summer when the former college quarterback was caught gambling on his own football team while at Indiana decides to let it be known they are not happy with the current product.
Is it right?
No, especially when that same person decides to get on social media and question whether the football program should cut off access to its coaches in relation to a local Lubbock radio station.
But, this isn’t a scene out of the movie "Blue Chips," where the head coach takes to the postgame press conference to lambast a booster for being too involved in the program by way of providing benefits to the athletes.
We got to this point when the NCAA opened the front door and invited this in by way of NIL, which should have taken place a decade ago. Yes, players deserved to be paid for the amount of money they generated for athletic departments across the country.
No, I'm not implying the swimming star should be paid in the same manner as the starting linebacker. But it takes someone like Cody Campbell to help fund these contracts, even down to the softball team that is competing for a national championship.
And, I promise you this is taking place on the campus of your favorite team, though it's most likely not as brazen as Cody Campbell.
While the Texas billionaire has been spending a majority of his time trying to garner votes for the Protect College Sports Act for his own reasons that most likely have more to do with Texas Tech having a place in this new world, he's still just a very rich alum who has earned the right to do whatever he pleases with his own money.
If Campbell wants to spend millions to ensure his favorite team has the resources needed to compete at the highest level, I can assure you the Texas Tech athletic department isn’t going to put him on a leash when he expresses his thoughts.
Why would it?
He is essentially the unofficial "owner" of multiple Red Raiders athletic programs.
If you think Campbell’s influence is interesting now, I can promise you more boosters like him are coming down the pipeline.
The difference is that they may not hold press conferences like Jerry Jones in the aftermath of a loss.
They’ll simply take to social media—and expect their teams to listen.

France has reached the "dead end of socialism" as violent protests spread across the country, a French artificial intelligence entrepreneur said Friday.
Speaking on "The Faulkner Focus," Brivael Le Pogam blamed decades of left-wing policies for what he described as growing unrest and declining public services in France.
"Right now we are just seeing the dead end of socialism," Le Pogam, CEO and co-founder of Argil AI, said.

"It's super sad, and it's purely chaotic right now. And I think, so, basically there is a lot of different causes, but mainly for me, it's the consequences of socialism," he added.
The demonstrations began with students expressing frustration over conditions at their schools and the quality of education. Protests have since spread across France, with some turning violent and leading to looting and thousands of arrests.
On Saturday, thousands marched in Orléans, southwest of Paris, to protest what they described as fascism, while other demonstrators gathered in the capital. French authorities said they planned to deploy 70,000 police officers ahead of additional demonstrations to prevent a repeat of the destruction and looting seen the previous weekend.

Le Pogam said that despite France's universal healthcare system, patients in some parts of the country face lengthy waits to see a doctor or receive certain medical services.
"We are paying through taxes, through the salaries for that. But years by years, there is some zone in France where you need to wait, for example, one year to get a doctor," he said.
Le Pogam argued that government control has also contributed to declining standards in education and other public institutions.
"Basically like the education, everything touched by the states, it's just crumbled and becoming bad and bad year by year," he added.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that the government would move to prohibit what he called "illegitimate" protests. He also accused "ultra-left groups" of fueling the unrest, saying their goal was to "bring down the Republic."
President Donald Trump also expressed concern about the unrest and questioned whether the NFL should proceed with Sunday's scheduled regular-season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, just outside Paris.
"I would have said the NFL could have probably postponed that match if you want to know. Because France is really in trouble," Trump told reporters Friday. "That's what happens when you go left. That's what happens when you allow unlimited numbers of people into your country from very unfriendly countries."

Le Pogam also criticized the government's response to the demonstrations, arguing that authorities have a responsibility to protect the public.
"The crazy thing is the government say to the people to protect themselves and for me, it's crazy," he said. "It's literally the — it's the fate of the states to protect people, and we are seeing that everywhere."

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' diagnosis of blood clots in both lungs has put blood thinners in the spotlight.
Hurts is receiving treatment with the medication and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season, according to the NFL.
Even young, physically active people can develop dangerous blood clots, especially when risk factors such as an injury, long travel or recent surgery combine. "Being in shape lowers your risk, but it doesn’t make you immune," said Dr. Joseph V. Lombardi, chief physician executive at AtlantiCare.
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE'S MS MISDIAGNOSIS AFTER 5 YEARS OF TREATMENT EXPOSES ALARMING MEDICAL REALITY
Hurts’ case also highlights the precautions patients taking blood thinners may need to follow.
The medication can help prevent dangerous clots from growing or forming but can also make it harder for the body to stop bleeding after an injury — a concern for athletes playing high-contact sports or anyone who falls or gets hurt.
"Taking [blood thinners] consistently, understanding potential interactions, and recognizing warning signs can greatly reduce the risk of complications," Dr. Yazan Abou-Ismail, a hematologist and thrombosis expert at the University of Utah, told Fox News Digital.
STACKING SUPPLEMENTS WITHOUT KEY TEST CAN DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD, EXPERT WARNS
Here are five mistakes patients should avoid:
While some patients only need blood thinners for a limited time, others may need them long term. When a clot has a clear cause, such as an injury, treatment often lasts about three months, Lombardi told Fox News Digital.
The duration depends on factors including the reason for treatment and whether a patient has had previous clots, Abou-Ismail added. Stopping too soon can raise the risk of another clot, while continuing longer than prescribed may increase bleeding risk.

Patients should not stop or extend treatment without speaking with their doctor.
Missing doses repeatedly can weaken a medication's protection against clots, Abou-Ismail said, but what to do after a missed dose depends on the specific drug.
Patients should follow the instructions for the prescription or call their pharmacist or doctor — not automatically take an extra dose to make up for a missed one.

Aspirin and NSAIDs including ibuprofen can increase bleeding risk when taken with blood thinners, Abou-Ismail said. Some prescription drugs and supplements, including fish oil and turmeric, can also affect bleeding or medication levels.
Patients should ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking anything new, even if it is sold over the counter.
Some bruising or minor bleeding may occur but persistent nosebleeds, blood in the urine or unexplained increases in bruising warrant a call to a health care provider, Abou-Ismail said.

Uncontrolled bleeding, vomiting blood, black or tarry stools, a sudden severe headache or new confusion, vision changes or trouble speaking require urgent care.
After a significant head injury, patients should seek medical evaluation, even if they initially feel fine, experts note.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
A hard hit or fall can lead to serious bleeding in patients taking a blood thinner, which is why Hurts cannot play football during treatment.
Patients should ask their doctor which activities are safe for them. Some may be able to continue exercising but contact sports and other activities with a high risk of injury warrant extra caution.
Blood thinners do not dissolve an existing clot, Lombardi cautioned. They help prevent it from growing while the body clears it over time. The right treatment and precautions vary, so patients should contact their care team with questions about doses, side effects or activity.
