Which head coach do you think is the most underrated in the country? 🤔

Thanks to the more than 100 people who played this week in the TD Club's annual Golf Fundraising Scramble.
We were able to raise money for the charities we do. This includes scholarships, refurbishing inner-city weight rooms, assisting the Senior Showcase and getting unused cleats from the Houston Texans to the needy Greater Houston high schools.

Eight Southern Methodist University megadonors have raised $50 million for the school’s athletes, signaling a dramatic escalation in college sports’ donor-fueled financial arms race to recruit and retain the best players.

The university has also launched a major gift-giving organization, the Boulevard Society, which campus leaders expect to raise at least an additional $50 million for the school’s athletes by the end of the year. https://bit.ly/3MoCRsu?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_The_Dallas_Morning_News
