Cody Campbell, Co-CEO of Double Eagle Energy, Former Texas Tech Red Raider football player and current Texas Tech Board of Regents Chairman joins Sports Business Radio for an in-depth conversation about the state of college sports and what changes need to be made in order to keep many athletic departments from operating at an annual deficit.
Campbell has founded “Saving College Sports”, a 501(c)4 organization dedicated to fighting for a college sports system that protects both student athletes and the future of college athletics at every level.
The billionaire businessman has a unique perspective as a former student athlete, current Regents Chairman and parent to a son who is currently being recruited to play college sports. Campbell has testified in front of Congress and has spoken with President Trump about what needs to be done to protect student athletes and the future of college sports.
In this conversation with Campbell on Sports Business Radio, we discuss why Campbell is devoting so much of his time to this effort, what the challenges are to making changes to the current college athletics landscape, how the transfer portal and NIL have impacted college sports, how a number of athletic departments already run at a deficit and increasing costs will only put them further in debt and what the possible solutions are.
