A few months back, when the Texas program appeared to be heading back toward a dark place, Mack Brown was busy convincing the board of regents to approve hefty pay raises for his current staff and soon-to-be staff. It appears as though the regents didn’t need much convincing after USA Today and the Austin American-Statesman revealed just how much the staff will make in 2011.
