Texas BMDs Who are they?

[orangeut 212]

I know economies have changed over the years.  We've had some BMDs getting older and some to die.   For inquisitive minds and for you in the know, who are our BMDs now?

[Henry Hill 3,156]

PM Derka and he’ll give you the secret password.

[Spankytoes 1,736]

Well it's a well-known fact, sonny-jim, that there's a secret society of the 5 wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything at Texas, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually in a secret country mansion in Colorado known as The Meadows: The Queen, the Vatican, the Gettys, the Rothschilds...and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up! Ooh I hated the Colonel, with his wee beady eyes and that smug look on his face! Ohh you're gonna buy my chicken! Ooh! 

[GreenspointTexas 9,565]

I thought UT was controlled by a secret society known as “The Eyes of Texas” since around 1975

[927 E. 41st 1,124]

How would you define BMD? Are you looking for a certain top percentage in the LHF? A dollar value? An annual dollar value? Or someone that holds a certain amount of sway with the AD?

[DaggerHorns 3,058]

Finally, a thread about me. Checking in to address everyone’s questions and/or concerns. Let me know...

Why meet in Colorado?   Should meet in Texas.  Keep that money in house

[orangeut 212]

BMDs that have the AD's ear.   It seems some of the influential people in the past don't have as much power (or money) as they once did.   

[Hookah Horns 3,078]

Some other guys

You know who I blame?  Sherwood Blunt.  
Why?  Fuck em.  That’s why.

My buddy and I had season tickets this past year and CDC personally replied to a tweet of mine, so where’s my bag and which 2021 recruit do I give it to??

If you got a DNA sample...you could grow an ear on a lab rat.

I was going to post a photo, but it’s kinda gross.

If you have to ask, you probably can't afford to know the answers

Start at the 200 club and work your way up from there.

Looking at this coaching search, I think the more appropriate question is where the hell are they?

If you hear a guy chomping on a cigar and saying "you bet" then you have found one of them.

They probably feel they can't win. If they are known to be involved, even if they are doing the angel's work, they get blamed for interfering. If they are not known to be involved then, where are they?

They’re all in my Tracfone I can guarantee you that 

[BurntOrange&White 39,651]

Greg Fenves comes to my tailgate

[Murfdogg21 4,412]

I used to work for a medium cigar ($100-200 million net worth) that has his own box and gets invited to their meetings. 

[South Austin 52,142]

Look, after I paid for the private jet that flew Fenves and Perrin up to Tulsa and gave them a million dollars to grovel for Sterlin Gilbert, I said I'm done with this shit. 

[stork642 4,498]

I am but if you don’t mind I would appreciate you not telling anyone. I try to keep a low profile.

The jet they usually use for those types of boondoggles is Evans’. Last I knew, the only plane the school owned is the King Air. 

The list of BMDs is long, but Hicks, Evans, Willeford, Rowling, Tate, Matthews, Rex, Myers, and Hildebrand are the more publicized ones. 

There is a list of the privately endowed scholarships at UT. The more low key BMDs are on that list of names. 

If you want to see just how deep the alumni pockets are, swing by Lemmon Ave by Love Field on the way to the Cotton Bowl for the OU game and look at the iron parked by where TacAir and Signature are. The line of planes flying out of Love after that game will blow your mind. 

Pull this document up and start at page 299. Look for the larger amounts and figure out which ones are still alive. It will give you a pcture of who gives. Not all give to athletics, but a number of them do.

I gave as much as $1,500 and studied at UT for 2.5 years.  I demand respect!  I even have a parking permit of some repute!

Did you hear of any "BMD's" included in the Charlie Strong decision process?

Admittedly, the Herman hire was a minor revolution.

Addition

[Caddox 952]

This university is segmented by BMDs that don’t really like each other that much. Obv between Houston and Dallas, but San Antonio, Austin, and Midland are well represented. Then you can throw in a good mix of very wealthy alums that don’t fit into these groups. 

UT is a shitshow. We have had extremely poor leadership for a long time. Fenves lacks respect and has very slowly alienated donors with his politics. I personally think he’s really sharp but the wrong guy for the job. He should be doing the same deal somewhere on the west coast.

Yes, DFW BMDs are rumored to have been in on Strong, then Houston got theirs with Herman.  When Mensa shits the bed it will be the power guys in the RGV and the Permian Basin combining forces to call the shots.

Danny Gonzales will be sufficiently ready by then or maybe we get Ron Rivera.

I would assume Jeff Hildebrand as well (HilCorp).

McCombs of course.
