Maybe the lady recognized on the field at the Wofford game?
I think we have 5-7 pretty big boosters.....I know of 1 that lives in Florence.

I remember when I went to a Longhorn game last year

and the crowd gave a spattering of light polite applause for a donor who just gave 1.5 million dollars. And somehow they are still down as a program

You can expect a house cleaning for the new AD. Until they hire someone everybody is secure in their jobs.
Tejus will hire an AD who expresses desire to suck butt and fire everybody associated with the next two seasons for all major sports. They are a blood thirsty bunch at the top and if they can't be satisfied with wins then body count will have to do.
They've been that way for decades and that's why they are on the top of my most hated list.

They aren't celebrities, but I imagine the Hendrix family has donated the most money out of all active donors.

I would say the Poe, Chapman, Hendrix and Brooks families would be up there pretty high on the list.
