AUSTIN, Texas -- Several Texas senators are criticizing a $200,000 raise for Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes as the university faces likely budget cuts.
School regents approved the raise Wednesday. Barnes was owed a $75,000 increase under his contract. Another $125,000 was added to keep him among the 10 highest-paid coaches in the country.
The Texas athletic department is self-supporting and the raise does not include tax money.
State Sen. Kirk Watson, a Democrat representing Austin, says the regents are tone deaf to a state budget crisis that could result in heavy cuts to Texas higher education.
In January, Texas Tech gave football coach Tommy Tuberville a $500,000 raise, prompting complaints by university faculty in Lubbock.

Texas governor Rick Perry whined about not getting federal money after their wildfire thing, yet this kind of crap goes on.

Unbelievable.

The art department is always the first one to have it's funding cut.

Yeah. It's just drawing. My 12 year old niece can do that.

Then ask her to make you business cards for your company. ASSHOLE!

Well who needs arts ? That is for liberal potheads.

Them or music

Them or music

I generally lump music in when I bitch about the lack of arts funding in schools. Music, drama, visual arts—it's all art, and it always gets the shitty end of the stick when it comes to budget time.

Christians don't appreciate art, unless it's their scum boy Thomas Kinkade, which takes us back to the first part of this sentence.

Depends on how much the head of the Arts is bringing into the school

Or how much new equipment the Science Dept. got?
