Brown gets raise, Muschamp signs on dotted line
Posted by HenryJames on December 9th, 2009 under Football
Per a UT release.
Brown will get an annual service payment of $2 million through 2016. After football revenues were $87.5 million in 2008, I’d say he deserves it.
And Muschamp has signed his agreement formally making him Texas’ head coach designate.

Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball

MONEY: Longhorns football revenues have more than quadrupled under Brown, from $21.3 million in 1997 to $87.5 million in 2008 (the last year complete data is available). Revenue from the current season is expected to be the same or slightly larger.

Will someone please check the fine print of Muschamp’s contract to see if it in any way gives him the ability to fire G. Davis before the MNC game?
Then he could run the offense and play ET and AW at wide receiver as it seems they’ve had more catches than Kirkendoll and Buckner in the last few games. Some defensive players on the OL may not be a bad idea either.

How do they differentiate football revenue from other athletics revenue other, of course, than football tickets, television, and specifically football branded merchandise (and I guess boosters)?
Honest question. If I buy a shirt with the Horns on it, what revenue stream is it counted toward? How about a generic Longhorn baseball style hat?

Off topic, but I am kind of thankful for the fact that when I went to Texas the best player we had on the field was Butch Hadnot. I feel like a better person for it and have enjoyed the success a lot more than I think a Mack Brown era student or new fan could. Though I probably don’t feel as lucky or grateful as Greg Davis.

My first distinct memory of Longhorn football (besides just watching my dad yell at the TV) was the 1990 mudholing by Miami. I never want to feel that way again. While I am a MB-era student, I sure as hell don’t take our last decade of success for granted. There is certainly room for improvement – like something resembling a balanced, coherent offensive scheme – but I would sacrifice my right nut and 7 virgin hostesses to maintain the current overall quality of the program.

Football revenue is ticket sales, luxury boxes, concessions and PSL’s. Most booster donations, while greatly influenced by football, fall under the category, “Revenue not allocated by sport or gender,” since that money goes to building all the facilties and funding all scholarships.
Honest question. If I buy a shirt with the Horns on it, what revenue stream is it counted toward? How about a generic Longhorn baseball style hat?
Again I am pretty sure it goes into the general athletic department bottom line.

As the CEO and face of the program, a compelling argument can be made that he is actually underpaid for the amount of revenue he generates.

I was on campus during that stretch in the late eighties. Just terrible. It made the 10-1 1990 season all the sweeter. I never heard Memorial Stadium louder than the beat down on Houston in 1990. A guy behind me at that game was yelling in Yosemite Sam voice for 3 hours. The crushing from Miami in the cotton bowl that year was unbelievably embarrassing. I still have scars.

Still, I ended up winning an argument with people who have higher degrees than me. Woo!

The 1992 game against Houston (daytime at Memorial) was also pretty insane. When we finally picked off the screen pass (or crossing route – I had no perspective on it from where the band sat) in the 4th quarter (I believe) that had been turning short catches into monster gains all game long it rained bourbon and Coke for about 10 straight minutes.
Contrast that atmosphere with playing an away game the year before at UoH in a nearly empty Astrodome and enduring CONSTANT “air raid” sirens.

I can’t find any word on what happens if MB chooses to retire before 2016. When I first read this I assumed that the $2mm per-year “service payment” was sort of like a pension – he would still get it if he retired. If thats the case, it would make room for Boom but also reward Brown. I guess I was thinking this in the context of Longhorn nation conventional wisdom that he would retire in the next couple of years. But the talking heads are making it seem like its now basically a lock that he will be here through 2016. Any insight?

The 1990 Houston game was epic. They still had the noise meters that use to go up the side of the old scoreboard and I remember them being on tilt for huge chunks of the game.
Also I was one of the idiots on the field before the game ended. I was in college and had successfully smuggled a six pack of Keystone into the stadium (seriously). That’s my excuse.
Imagine a time when beating Houston rated rushing the field.

It’s my understanding that the $87M comes from all football related ticket sales, donations, Big 12 money, TV advertising, etc… for football and none of it comes from Longhorn gear and logo sales, which goes under the general athletic fund since it can’t always be determined what sport, if any, the gear is for.
Mack is getting paid because he quadrupled the football programs income while only doubling expenditures over the last 10 years. And that is NOT even counting gear sales, in which we are #1 as well.
Also, I would imagine they are paying Mack that money NOT to retire, because they want him to continue increasing the football programs profits by clown chart amounts.
As much as we all like Muschamp, it’s bad business sense to let Mack go anywhere. That guy is the MVP of UT money making.
