Some Texas faculty upset with Brown's $5M salary

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Some University of Texas faculty question whether
football coach Mack Brown is worth $5 million annually when the school
faces tough budget choices.

University system regents last week decided Brown deserved more money,
raising his annual pay from $3 million. The Longhorns will face fellow
unbeaten Alabama for the BCS championship on Jan. 7.

A resolution approved Monday, in an informal vote during a UT Faculty
Council meeting, said the $5 million deal was "unseemly and
inappropriate." The group lacked a quorum for an official vote.

UT President William Powers Jr. says the athletic program, under Brown, has
had no subsidies or deficits and has channeled $6.6 million into academic
programs in recent years.

Brown's salary is paid with money raised by athletic department revenues.

But the players, the ones who actually do the work and draw the fans and
take the risks, only get a crummy $20,000 a year scholorship!!

What doesn't make sense to me... wait until after the next game to
consider any changes in salary...

If they could coach well they'd get more. Why waste $20K each on them
for scholarships - especially when money is hard to come by? The
faculty get paid to much as well.

Fine with me - as long as the college player's salaries are also
determined by the market place.

Mack Brown isn't worth $1 Million a year, let alone $5 Million.
Hope he cashes his check before Alabama rapes them.

He gets those alumni contributions coming in - and isn't that what
it's all about? His university is rolling in dough.

Mack Brown's strength is in acquiring good players and a good staff,
which are how to win college football.

So why aren't these good players also paid millions a year?
