Think he'll send Vince a Christmas card?
Mack Brown's getting a few hundred grand a year more in the wake of UT's Rose Bowl victory, according to this AP report. His 2006 salary will be "at least" $2.5 million, compared to just over $2.1 million last year. This keeps him in the top five highest paid college football coaches nationally (well, that probably extends throughout the entire universe, AFAIK), with the USC coach, Pete Carroll, leading the pack at $3MM per. Wonder if Pete'll get a raise this year?
And on the other flip side, the UT football program generates a profit of around $40 million per year. One might argue about the relative value to society of coaching vs teaching, but it's hard to argue that UT isn't investing its money wisely in Mack Brown's salary.
