Block T Association Playbook - Edition No. 19 - July 2026 with Block T logo on left and playbook chalkboard plays on the right

Hello Frog Fam! BTA Locker Room Chat with Cedric James and Locker Room in the background

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Block T Virtual Locker Room Meeting. It was an outstanding evening, and I left encouraged by the engagement, thoughtful questions, and excitement surrounding the future of Block T. Seeing Letter Winners reconnect and rally around a shared vision reinforced that we're building something special together.

During the call, we revealed several new initiatives and introduced an enhanced package of Active Membership benefits designed to provide more value than ever before. From restoring the Block T tailgate tradition and strengthening our Hall of Fame process to expanding networking opportunities, wellness resources, and community engagement, we're committed to creating meaningful experiences that keep our Letter Winner community connected for life. So, I encourage you to take a few moments to explore the new Active Membership benefits on our website at www.blockt.tcu.edu. They're unlike anything we've offered before and reflect our commitment to creating lasting value for our Letter Winners and their families.

As we prepare for another exciting school year and football season, I want to thank you for your continued support, your ideas, and your commitment to TCU. I'm excited about the momentum we're building and look forward to seeing many of you this fall.
Many Blessings and Go Frogs®!

Lifetime and annual contributions to Block T allow members to make a lasting impact on past, present, and future generations of TCU Athletics. These contributions provide members with unique access and experiences within the TCU Athletics community while supporting signature events such as the Hall of Fame Banquet and additional programming throughout the year. Here is a look at the new levels of membership:

Complimentary Membership: Recent graduates receive a complimentary one-year active membership during the fiscal year immediately following their graduation. Every former TCU letterwinner is recognized as a member of the Block T Association. To receive member benefits, individuals simply need to activate their membership annually or through a lifetime membership.

Annual Active Membership: $100

Lifetime Membership: $1,500 (NEW LOWER PRICE!)

 

- BLOCK T BY THE NUMBERS: MEMBERSHIP BY SPORT
Ever wonder which sports make up the Block T Association? We pulled the numbers on our Lifetime and Active memberships to see how our Letterwinner community breaks down by sport. Note: some Letterwinners competed in more than one sport, so they're counted within each sport they played.

- A WORD FROM ANDUNO, PROUDLY SUPPORTING TCU STUDENT-ATHLETES
Anduno - TCU gear; tcu swimmer in jacket in front of frog fountain, tcu hat and waterproof jacket, tcu jacket with hood, tcu swimmer in light quarter-zip
Founded by TCU letterwinner Nathan Losch (Swim & Dive '13) and his brother Dalio (TCU '17), Anduno was built with one mission: helping athletes recover, perform, and travel at the highest level.

The exclusive TCU Fan Bundle is more than premium Horned Frog apparel. It's an opportunity for Frog fans and alumni to directly invest in the success of TCU student-athletes.

For every seven TCU Fan Bundles sold, one Horned Frog student-athlete will receive a complete Anduno Recovery Bundle, featuring professional-grade compression boots, a massage gun, and a travel backpack. These are the same types of recovery tools used by elite athletes to help reduce soreness, improve recovery, and stay healthy throughout the season.  

Our long-term goal is to equip every TCU student-athlete with access to high-quality recovery equipment. Reaching that milestone will require approximately 3,500 Fan Bundles, making every purchase another step toward helping Horned Frogs perform at their best.  

Our initiative begins with TCU's non-revenue sports and will then expand across all Horned Frog athletic programs, allowing Frog fans and alumni to make an immediate impact where support is often needed most.
This collection was created alongside TCU Women's Triathlon standout and Anduno NIL athlete Marley Andelman, who helped design the exclusive TCU hat and contributed to the quarter-zip design, creating a collection inspired by the athletes who wear it.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE TCU FAN BUNDLE

  • ·Performance Waterproof TCU Jacket

  • ·TCU Quarter-Zip Pullover

  • ·Exclusive TCU Hat, co-designed by Marley Nadleman

  • ·Support for TCU student-athlete recovery initiatives

  • ·Every 7 Fan Bundles sold provides one TCU student-athlete with a complete Anduno Recovery Bundle

Hear directly from current TCU athletes about the impact recovery equipment has on their training:
  • Hannah Wachendorfer & Aubrey Finn (TCU Swimming): LINK
Own a business? Anduno also partners with local companies to create fully customized jackets featuring your organization's branding while helping provide recovery equipment for TCU student-athletes. If your business is interested in supporting this mission, we'd love to connect.

Together, we can help every Horned Frog recover better, train harder, and compete at their highest level.
