Team Leach supporters are hoping to get their message across loud and clear.
Preparations for their anticipated rally were in full swing Wednesday.
Organizers are expecting thousands of Team Leach supporters to attend the rally, scheduled for Thursday.
Leach supporters caught the eye of a Dallas PR firm, who've helped to organize the rally, even starting an advertising campaign that features digital billboards you may have seen around town.
The money for those billboards came from donations collected through the Team Leach Facebook group.
Organizers tell us they did invite Tech Chancellor Hance and President Bailey, who declined to speak at the rally.
The group says the goal of the rally is to get answers from Tech administrators.
"What we're hoping for is the opportunity for people to hear the legitimate concerns that 60,000 people on Facebook are expressing," Event Organizer, Charlie Hodges, says.
The rally is scheduled for Thursday, January 14 at 1:00 p.m. at Memorial Circle on Tech's campus.
