Lubbock, TX — In a powerful gesture of enduring support and unwavering pride, Texas Tech University President Dr. Lawrence Schovanec has donated five state-of-the-art luxury buses to the Red Raiders football program. The donation, described by university officials as “transformational,” is part of a broader commitment to elevate the student-athlete experience and symbolize the unity and excellence of Texas Tech athletics.

 

Each custom-designed bus features top-of-the-line amenities—plush reclining seats, onboard Wi-Fi, advanced climate control, cutting-edge entertainment systems, and Red Raider branding throughout—reflecting not just comfort but a spirit of class, pride, and determination.

 

“This is more than transportation,” said Dr. Schovanec at the unveiling ceremony outside Jones AT&T Stadium. “This is about riding together toward greatness. It’s about legacy, loyalty, and believing in our student-athletes as champions on and off the field.”

 

The luxury buses will serve as the primary travel method for the football team during regional games and community outreach events. For many student-athletes, these buses will represent more than a mode of travel—they’re a rolling symbol of the Red Raider standard: excellence, unity, and elite preparation.

 

Head Football Coach Joey McGuire was visibly moved by the announcement. “This gift speaks volumes,” McGuire stated. “It shows our players they matter. That they’re seen. That Texas Tech is all-in on building champions the right way—through investment, belief, and family.”

 

Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt echoed those sentiments. “Dr. Schovanec has always led with heart. This donation takes our infrastructure to the next level and sets a tone that Texas Tech isn’t just competing—we’re defining the standard.”

 

The announcement comes as Texas Tech football surges forward with growing national attention, elite recruiting classes, and renewed aspirations of championship success. Schovanec’s gift, which he described as “a token of gratitude to a program and people who’ve given so much,” adds both symbolic and practical horsepower to that momentum.

 

As the buses gleamed under the Texas sun, a bold message was emblazoned on each side: “Let Us Ride as We Built in Legacy.”

 

With that powerful phrase and generous act, Lawrence Schovanec didn’t just provide transportation—he delivered a defining moment of leadership and legacy for the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
