A Brief History of TTU Athletics:
Senate Bill No. 103, passed on February 10, 1923, set into motion the establishment of a new college in West Texas. Lubbock was selected in 1924 as the site for Texas Technological College. The college opened officially on September 15, 1925. Football was played starting in 1925. Baseball, track and tennis were played at Texas Tech beginning in 1926. The university also at one time maintained a men's and women's swim team. Since 1925, the university's football team, The Red Raiders, has participated in over 22 bowl games and produced numerous notable athletes. Texas Tech joined the Border Conference in 1932 and became a member of the Southwest Conference in 1956. The disbanding of the Southwest Conference in 1996 led to Tech's joining the newly formed Big 12 Conference the same year.
