"But to Campbell, it’s about more than just the money. He attributes Tech’s portal success to four factors:
1. Complete alignment among coaches, boosters and administrators.
2. The ability to move quickly to get deals done.
3. The recruiting prowess of McGuire and his general manager, James Blanchard.
4. The sums of money Tech can bring to the table.
Blanchard, who runs the Red Raiders’ personnel and scouting department, said he and Campbell speak multiple times per week. McGuire and Campbell have been close since the coach was hired in November 2021. Blanchard called the process of working with the Matador Club “seamless.”
James Blanchard recently became one of the highest paid CFB GMs.

"When players have visited campus, Tech has used traditional recruiting strategies: pristine facilities and personal relationships. The school opened its $242 million south end zone renovation at Jones AT&T Stadium, which includes all the coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, a new game day locker room, suites and a club area. The Womble Football Center, the team’s daily operations headquarters, was also part of that pricey face-lift, paid for by Tech donors."
