Longhorn Faculty Pissed At Mack's Raise

((HT: KXAN-TV/Austin))

Those of us at OSG HQ know that, for the most part, athletic department salaries come from different places than the salaries for employees for the remainder of any particular university.

The University of Texas is no different... AD DeLoss Dodds has a lot of money to play with for his coffers- not coming from the state of Texas and tuitions...

Head football coach Mack Brown recently got a helluva raise- justly deserved or not, it was a helluva raise... and those people who don't get their salaries paid by Dodds have their boxers in a bunch over the idea of said raise...

The HQ would maintain that, while the raise for Brown may be deserved- the timing is horrific. The easiest thing to do would have been to give an annuity or write something down on paper to present when the economy is in better stead.

Or, hell, Dodds could pay for a teacher or two...
Just a thought...
Here's your understandable fallout, thanks to our friends at KXAN-TV in Austin...
