I see this graphic all the time on social media.
It contains a lot of data, and one thing that often gets lost is the conference affiliation of the writers being polled.
So I made a cleaner graphic that just shows the writer affiliations.
This is who holds the votes.
BIASED | The Big 12 will NOT fine Oklahoma State following a field rush Saturday against Oregon, per multiple reports.
Texas Tech was fined $50,000 in Brett Yormark's first year as commish for rushing the field after defeating Texas.
This is just ANOTHER instance of Texas Tech being treated differently than the rest of the conference.
Should Texas Tech leave the Big 12 🤔
"Who has the strongest SOS?"
"The SEC."
"Why?"
"Because they play a bunch of SEC teams."
"How good are SEC teams?"
"Really good, because they play a bunch of SEC teams."
"How do you know if SEC teams are better than teams from other conferences?"
"They are better, because they play a lot more SEC teams than teams from other conferences."
Cotton is a renewable, natural fiber that provides a sustainable alternative to many synthetic, petroleum-based materials. Choosing natural fibers whenever possible helps support American farmers while reducing our dependence on plastics in everyday products.

The least surprising news of all time is that Texas Tech is vilified because of a judge’s ruling in the Sorsby case.
The only issue is Texas Tech did not step one toe out of line in the entire process.
Here is a visual for why it’s CRUCIAL to follow proper mixing procedures when using Enlist 1 chemistry on your Enlist traited soybeans and corn #spraysafe@PioneerSeedsCA
This is a perplexing time.
People hate Texas Tech because we have money.
In response to this frustration, they embrace the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS? 40 plus billion dollar endowment, have every advantage stacked in you’re favor, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS?
Sone might call this inconsistent.
Seen a TON of misinformation regarding transfers for Texas and Texas Tech softball. The numbers floating around are incorrect for both teams. So this should help provide some accurate information and also some context to the discussion.
Texas Tech has eight new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have 15 total transfers.
Texas has four new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have five total transfers.
Texas Tech's eight new transfers this season:
Jackie Lis (Southern Illinois)
Mia Williams (Florida)
Lagi Quiroga (Cal)
Taylor Pannell (Tennessee)
Desi Spearman (New Mexico State)
Jazzy Burns (Ohio State)
Kaitlyn Terry (UCLA)
Nikolette Schmidt (Houston)
Texas' four new transfers this season:
Kaiah Altmeyer (Arizona)
Taylor Anderson (Oklahoma State)
Brenlee Gonzales (Texas Tech)
Sophia Bordi (Oklahoma)
Texas Tech's prior transfers:
Alana Johnson (Washington)
Nija Canady (Stanford)
Mihyia Davis (Louisiana)
Chloe Riasetto (Louisiana)
Vic Valdez (Louisiana)
Lauren Allred (Louisiana)
Makayla Garcia (UT-Tyler)
Texas' prior transfers:
Kaydee Bennett (Abilene Christian)
One other note of context: Gerry Glasco took over at Texas Tech prior to the 2025 season. Davis, Riassetto, Allred, and Valdez came with him from Louisiana (along with the now graduated Alexa Langeliers) to help build this new program that had only three returners from the 2024 team: Reagan Jennings, Logan Halleman, and Demi Elder.
They had three players left from the prior era. The portal (and their eight-player recruiting class for 2025) was necessary to mold a roster out of thin air.
So anyway, stop sharing that bogus graphic... and also stop acting like any team that is utilizing the transfer portal or NIL (Texas, Texas Tech or anyone else) is doing anything wrong.
