Texas Tech plans to allocate more than 90% of its projected $20.5M revenue-sharing distribution next school year to the football and men's basketball teams. According to Red Raiders AD Kirby Hocutt and Deputy AD Jonathan Botros, the school will distribute about 74% to football players, 17-18% to men's basketball, 2% to women's basketball, 1.9% to baseball and smaller percentages to other sports. In dollar amounts, it's about $15.1M to football, $3.6M to men's basketball and less than $500K each to the other teams. Hocutt adds: "In consultation with [Football HC Joey] McGuire, we have decided to keep our scholarship awards at the same numbers as they are currently and not increase scholarship awards. The primary decision factor behind that is providing our coaches with as much flexibility as possible as we move forward, because if we added scholarships, we would be required to deduct that from the revenue-share amount."
