Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell, chairman of the school’s board of regents, had a social media joust with Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark over a Red Raiders football game that will likely move to Friday night during the upcoming season.

It may seem like a trivial fight, but Campbell, who has become one of the most prominent boosters in college sports, posted on X that the game between Texas Tech and Houston should remain as scheduled on Saturday, Sept. 19.
