## Caption

Clay Travis sits down with Texas Tech Regent & Double Eagle co-founder Cody Campbell for a candid, long-form breakdown of where college athletics is headed — and how to save it. We cover NIL’s real impact ($63M raised at Tech), the House v. NCAA settlement and the $20.5M cap, why Olympic & women’s sports are at risk, media rights fixes, and what a sane governance model could look like. Plus: Mike Leach memories, Art Briles, building and selling $15B+ in oil & gas ventures, and why football still matters for American culture.

If you care about college football’s next 5–20 years, this one’s for you.
