A Path TO LONGHORN sports history TLSN harnesses synergy to weave together U.T. history, traditions, legacies, and culture with individual records, photographs, and the insightful perspectives and personal narratives of former athletes, trainers, managers, coaches, and their families, creating a tapestry that all Longhorns can take pride in. The website features compelling and insightful commentary on Longhorns from distinguished authors, alongside visuals from videos, professional media brochures, newspaper articles, shelter magazines, and most notably, from the Longhorn athletes who have shaped the history of Longhorn sports. The second mission is the reason why the TLSN Board applied for a 501 (c) (3) “ The Board of Directors of TLSN hopes for good health, good luck, good families, good jobs, and goodwill to all Longhorns. However, TLSN remains as a sentinel prepared to assist qualifying Longhorns when help is needed. — Horns and Eyes Up! Billy Dale and the TLSN Board TLSN is an independent organization not associated with the University of Texas or any institution closely aligned with U.T. However, TLSN expresses gratitude to the NCAA and the U.T. Athletic compliance departments for their forward-thinking in 2017-2018 when each institution approved TLSN's mission statement. On April 29, 2017, TLSN became the first private charitable and tax-exempt organization in intercollegiate athletic sports history to provide financial aid to eligible former Longhorn student-athletes, coaches, student managers, trainers, and their immediate families. This initiative offers temporary financial support to those who have contributed to building the Longhorn brand and now need assistance The website is free, educational, and historical.
