Mac #10

Benford #16

Pete #28

Kinda deceptive because it's leaving out private colleges that don't have to post employee salaries. In reality, both are much lower in Texas if you factor in TCU, SMU, Baylor, etc.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

She deserves it, but it should be pretty telling that Karen Aston makes more money than Tony Benford now.

[Travis]

We are not getting our money's worth from Benford.

I was kinda shocked how low Bill Kennedy's salary is. My guess is that he's going to have to make a run this year or face getting a pink slip

.....paid for by tax dollars,.....

Even after Mack Brown resigned in December 2013 halfway through the fiscal year the University of Texas will pay him a buyout totaling to $2.75 million over four years, according to the Austin American Statesman.

Isn't this a bit misleading? I was always under the impression that donors kicked in the money for a lot of these huge contracts, as well as for the buyouts?

I just noticed we pay Pete more than UTSA pays their men's coach , Brooks Thompson

[greenit]

Thompson was pitiful today. Looked totally clueless.

Do you think we could get him?

Did you listen to the audio behind this link ? The person speaking said that the salaries paid Texas coaches was funded by taxpayers.

After I heard that, I questioned the entire thing.

Which is the reason for my post above as well.

That is a gross misrepresentation. This is probably more accurate.

It is my understand that only a part is ..... but just a certain base as is the deal with all "profs". Above that is money that is not tax money but some other sources... athletic donations, radio/TV programs, ticket money, etc. .
