Doesn't look too good to just give a football coach a guaranteed $75 million contract and try to buy out a basketball coach who has take you to a couple of Sweet 16s for several million more,

Then turn around and beg the state legislature for $55 million more in academic funding because you've turned into a gargantuan diploma mill,

And STILL owe money on an interest-free $16 million loan from academics to athletics after going half a billion dollars in debt to enlarge your football stadium to accommodate SEC visitors (with state and local taxpayers and every aggy student on the hook for its payback for decades).

Aggy are not good financial stewards. Bailout (academic side) after bailout (state taxpayer) after bailout (getting a portion of the SEC's largess).

This is why nobody wants to do business with UT Austin; you have a culture of lying and corruption. You can't get along with anyone, because you have such deep-seated entitlement that you literally change the legislative rules in response to A&M doing a better job at demonstrating success, even by the measures which you came up with. So what do you do? You literally change the rules to ensure that your school gets more money. It's so fricking pathetic. Normal humans would hang their head in shame, but yall glory in your entitled culture. It's sad, really.
