LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech Athletics will host a spring virtual event at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening, featuring Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt, head football coach Joey McGuire and Texas Tech University System Board of Regents member Cody Campbell, among others.
The 45-minute event dubbed “Opportunity Amid Chaos” intends to educate supporters on Texas Tech’s fundraising priorities pertaining to both the Red Raider Club and Matador Club, while also highlighting the recent opening of the Dustin R. Womble Football Center. The program will air live via Texas Tech Athletics’ X and Facebook pages as well as its YouTube channel and on TexasTech+.
Interviews with host Robert Giovannetti will take place around the $242 million Womble Football Center, which opened in December as Texas Tech’s final project of its historic Campaign for Fearless Champions. Hocutt and Campbell will describe Texas Tech’s recent fundraising success pertaining to facilities as well as Name-Image-Likeness support and detail the steps ahead as the athletics department enters the revenue share era of college athletics at the highest levels.
McGuire, meanwhile, will be joined by new defensive lineman Skyler Gill-Howard inside the locker room of the Womble Football Center. That conversation will highlight Gill-Howard’s journey to Texas Tech and his initial thoughts of his first few months as a Red Raider after joining the football program as part of the nation’s top-rated transfer class.
