Former Meet The Press host and long-time NBC News correspondent Chuck Todd believes Texas Tech Red Raiders superbooster Cody Campbell's "Saving College Sports" movement is a positive for the sport, particularly for the smaller schools in the Big Ten and the SEC.
With the "Saving College Sports" movement, Campbell is aiming to have College Football negotiate media contracts as a collective group, as opposed to conferences or individual schools like the Notre Dame Fighting Irish negotiating their own deals.
In a response to the B1G and SEC distributing anti-"Saving College Sports" propaganda to congressional lawmakers, Todd made the case that the movement is good for the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Minnesota Golden Gophers of the world.
"The middle class schools of the SEC and Big10 ought to realize that their conferences are only speaking for the big money members and what Cody Campbell is advocating would give more financial security to your Mississippi States and Minnesotas," Todd wrote on X.

Cody Campbell to be part of Donald Trump's college sports roundtable next Friday
Though we found out on Josh Pate's podcast that President Donald Trump knows nothing about the state of modern College Football -- being that he believed the South Carolina Gamecocks were a good team and his favorite coaches are Nick Saban, who retired in January 2024, and Urban Meyer, who hasn't coached at any level since 2021 -- he does seem to want to use NIL/rev-share as a victory for his presidency.
Campbell will be one of the guests at Trump's college sports roundtable next week, along with Saban, Meyer, Tiger Woods, Tim Tebow, Bryson DeChambeau, Donde Plowman, and others. The goal will be to find a fix for what's plaguing college sports.
Expect Campbell and Saban to be the two loudest oppositional forces at that meeting. Saban can't appreciate that Campbell and Texas Tech are being deemed the next Saban and Alabama Crimson Tide-esque dynasty in College Football, and University of Alabama employee Saban will be representing the SEC against Campbell's push to bring parity to the sport on behalf of the Big 12.
