A little update on The Matador Club...Things are going really well!
We now have over 2,500 individual donors, which is amazing at this point - but still doesn't scratch the surface on our potential (we have 300k living alumni).
Publicly we are still keeping our fundraising totals close to the vest (for competitive purposes), but I will say that we are well on track to compete at the very highest levels in NIL.
Football and Men's Basketball are still the largest areas of competition in NIL, as you all know. With our momentum, we will be able to significantly increase our payouts for next year, and as long as everyone keeps supporting the effort, we will have no issue staying ahead of the competition. We are miles ahead of the rest of the Big 12 in terms of our organization and the professionalization.
We are working on deals with the women's sports, baseball, and non-revenue sports. Some large donors have recently stepped up to help underwrite our NIL programs for those sports. Stay tuned!
We will also have some exciting announcements related to organizing our efforts with "corporate" deals, which we expect will multiply our size and reach.
We have some great Matador Club "swag" on order, and will be rolling that out soon (hopefully before the UT game). I'll post here when it's ready to go.
I'm not sure that anybody really believed it when we got started, but we've said for months that Texas Tech will be a national leader in NIL, and that NIL will be a huge competitive advantage for us. This prediction has certainly come to fruition. We have the most passionate fans in college sports, without a doubt!!
I would like to once again thank everyone for your generous support, and would encourage anyone who hasn't given to get online and help however you can - matadorclub.org
Crowdfunding is key to making this program sustainable, and every little bit counts - Please tell your friends, family, co-workers, etc.
Guns Up!!!
