The DeLoss Dodds Leadership Team (DDLT) is the premier annual membership program of Texas Athletics. This program is crucial to maintaining our Texas standard of excellence on an annual basis, and gifts from DDLT memberships support over 30% of funding for the world-class education and sport-specific services that enable our student-athletes to win in competition and in life.
DDLT Membership
Because DDLT members give to Texas Athletics at the highest annual levels, they receive exclusive engagement opportunities with our student-athletes, coaches and staff. As recognition of your leadership and to say thank you for your loyalty, the Longhorn Foundation stewards DDLT members throughout the year with invitations to exclusive events, biyearly DDLT Weekend functions, away game opportunities and more.
"I am humbled by the extraordinary opportunities you have given our players and the achievements you have helped our program reach over the years. Thank you for your passion, your pride, and for all that you do for Texas Football and our student-athletes. You make us so proud to represent this great university. Hook 'em!" - Coach Steve Sarkisian, Texas Football
Annual Giving for DDLT Membership
Electing to make an additional, 100% tax-deductible gift to Longhorn Excellence is the easiest way to reach or upgrade a DDLT status, as your level of Longhorn Foundation and DDLT membership is determined by the combination of any seat-related gift(s) tied to season tickets and Longhorn Excellence gift(s).
Those with higher Loyalty Points rankings enjoy access to earlier season ticket seat and parking selection appointment times, priority for high-demand game ticket requests (such as postseason and road games), plus increased ticket limits for the Allstate Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma.
DDLT Membership Levels + Benefits
Your DDLT level is determined by the total amount of your annual seat-related gift(s) for Texas Athletics season tickets and any philanthropic gifts made to Longhorn Excellence. All levels of DDLT members enjoy the following unique benefits:
- Priority seating and parking selection during Texas Football season ticket renewals
- Exclusive away game travel opportunities
- DDLT Weekend functions twice a year
The Impact of DDLT Membership
DDLT members provide more than 30% of annual funding for critical services that support over 550 Texas student-athletes. Among the resources that DDLT members fuel are nutrition, academic support, student-athlete development, travel, sports medicine, and performance health, and wellness services.
"The amazing generosity of DDLT members allows our student-athletes to dream big and achieve at the highest level in the classroom and in competition. Their successes are a result of the resources you help us to provide, and they know you make it possible." - Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Lois and Richard Folger Athletics Director
