Google Cloud says early AI‑driven workflows already save UT coaches more than 15 hours per week in game preparation, while Dell supplies the secure, AI‑ready infrastructure and SHI integrates the technology stack. Up to 40 student researchers each year will work under sports data analyst Kirk Goldsberry, gaining experience that can launch careers in tech and sports analytics.
