PrintDisucssed Commercialization of Technology and encourage patents and copyrights for TTU and the goal is to make "cold hard cash" from ideas at Tech.
We have some start up companies from the ideas at Tech.
Some things being worked on now is: Cancer drugs, "fracking", wind technology. Other exciting stuff too.
Raised 184 million in 2011.
"My hope is that everyone gives to Texas Tech". Suggests students get a graduate degree too. "For homework, we'll work pirate maneuvers and stuff like that."

We might as well focus on world solutions, because our athletic teams are becoming a thing of the past.
Wonder where we will finish this year in the all sports Big 12 trophy.

Hopefully Tech is more focused on its standing as a school
than a football team…
Shawn Johnson... she's a nice lady
My heart tells me this is heresy. My brain agrees.
11/12/11...66-6...I once was blind, but now I see.
Would be nice if they could focus on both....
Maybe next fall the family and I will drive up and go hang out in the new Rawls building…

New Directions
More responses to the color of a helmet then the real progress TTU is making where it really counts. Donate more and be proud.
This is a sports blog...
…not an academic blog that I know of…so it’s no surprise to me that there are more responses on a sports related issue. Don’t forget that athletic programs are/can be/should generate a lot of revenue for universities.
Although I do enjoy hearing about these updates too.

Unfortunately sports does not generate more than they spend.
In most cases. UT and a few other schools actually make money in athletics but most cost the university money. Of course keep in mind that this is what I was “told” in my sport management class in college.

If you lump all sports together then you are correct. Football at Tech does generate revenue and supports many of the non-revenue sports.
Simple rule of thumb: Everything before the but is BS.

Yes, I was lumping them as a whole.
Sorry, I should have clarified.
I also found a really cool link with database information.

Just put in the school you want to look at.

My two cents, if we’re all okay criticizing the administration, then I think I’m okay with someone posting about the progress that TTU is making and is appreciative of that. I’d prefer to keep it to athletics, but I think it would be unfair not to allow both points of view.

You could not be more right
I for one will be willing to take out a loan, get a second job, maybe even pick up some “night work” (mmm…maybe not…#remember the 5) to raise funds for donations.

wishful thinking
but a real governor with a real pair that would actually give a shit about something besides paybacks would begin appointing new bor and get a new chancellor that actually knows how to chancel.

Your political carrer will be over before it even gets started...

Plus, Tech92 will come forward with all kinds of sordid details of your college days…
The Hancellor can publish the findings from his background check…

That was all before you crossed the Hancellor....
You’re going to have to keep an eye on your backside now…
Maybe TTPilk will volunteer to help… Is that what he meant by solid backer?

Ha, ha!!
Just remember…it was the Hancellor that did a background check on me, not the other way around…so who is concerned about whom I ask you???? (insert Dr. Evil laugh here)

Do you promise to lower my taxes? Even if you won’t lower my taxes, at least lie to me and say that you will. I can’t vote for anyone that will raise my taxes.
