No wonder the man in the photo accompanying this sports column is smiling. Who wouldn’t be if they were making $5.16 million per year? Even more so if their work was sub-par. Rewarding mediocrity makes sense. As I watched UT lose to Oklahoma State 49-31 Saturday, the second time in two years, I asked myself while lining up the cue ball inside Fast Eddie’s, why did the idiots who comprise the UT Board of Regents choose to pay him almost the same salary that longtime former Longhorn Coach Mack Brown was making when he retired?
