It should read 'Vince Young OFFICIALLY hired by Texas.'

It should read 'Vince Young OFFICIALLY hired by Texas.'

...OR "What?... Again?"

[hickoryhouse]

so paying in the six figure range huh? I wonder how much of a pay cut that is from his college qb days?

[Army of Dad]

I don't like this.

What is there to stop them from having him suit up against us? I'm pretty sure the refs won't stop them...

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

Hmm. UT didn't have any opening in the Finance Department?

[Withers940]

What does his job entail? Coloring inside the lines or finger painting welcome signs?

[GangGreen]

Kinda like Hollywood Henderson winning the lottery twice.

I believe that the line of thinking here was "He washed out of the NFL and has no actual skills that will lead him to gainful employment. The last thing we need is someone high profile like this on the street or everyone is going to question our lack of education for athletes. Also, better give him 6 figures, he does have lifestyle expectations."

I can see the introductions at functions now.

"Allow me to introduce you to former NFL quarterback, kinda, Vince Young"

1. was this position posted for employment, per Texas state law?

2. What is out there to stop school's from offering this type of deal to secure talent in the future? and what will stop prospects from securing these types of deals if their pro careers don't pan out?

Whatever they're paying him, it's going to make them a profit. He's a legend to all Longhorn fans.

Yeah, we certainly wouldn't want any help in ours. We seem to be fairly incapable on our own.

whatever they're paying him, it's still not even scratching the surface of the money he brought in to tu
