He wants to be on the BOR? Bahahahahaha

I hope he gets voted to the BOR, too. That would be awesome

"It's always good to close deals on the golf course," Young said.

These feels like a Michael Scott quote.

quote:

---

Young's salary is being taken from a special fund Powers dips into to assist programs of his choosing.

---

Probably lots of monies in this fund.

quote:

---

A university spokeswoman said Young is on time more often than he's not.

---

Setting the bar high for Vince.

Someone start a list of this jackasses mishaps. He missed two radio (lol) shows in Houston about a month ago and blamed it on traffic.

---

Sounds like a great employee! Well worth the 100k.

quote:

---

He was self-deprecating "I ain't nobody"

---

quote:

---

As Young exited the Student Activity Center, two Texas students approached him, wanting a picture. Young, the six-figure ambassador of the university, blew them off.

---

quote:

---

University officials say they were not required to open Young's position to the public because Young's name recognition and history with UT made
him "uniquely qualified."

---

I would like to see some other state entity try to pull this crap with a 6 figure position.

What a joke on the whorns' part. If they had to give vy some sort of joke job, they'd be better off not advertising it. They look like fools.

I wonder how much Earl Campbell Sausage the unversity bought to make sure Earl didn't end up being a broke loser too...

Considering Earl Campbell and Vince Young as equals, is about like thinking the same of Abigail Ratchford and Roseanne Barr.

How pathetically embarrassing

I liked that brand

I didnt say it was bad sausage, just wondering if t.u. likes to make sure its biggest football stars don't end up making the school look bad by being broke has beens. The dorms as t.u. could have served earls's sausage at every meal...

Ricky Williams is hanging around Austin living off his name as well... Its obvious that they gave Vints a job because otherwise he would have ended up on the streets.

Earl, Vince, and Ricky are their brightest stars. Forget about what happened in the NFL, I'm talking college lore, and those are their guys.

He should be on the Board of Regents now! Why make this scholar wait?

Good to see her name becoming commonplace in the Rivalries lexicon.

It's hard to believe he needs extra money.

entitled teet sucker that is planning to live his life on the tu dole

but what alternatives does he have....

Powers no longer even bothers to try and hide the corruption, favoritism, patronage, and misuse of taxpayer and university funds that occurs regularly at the state's 2nd-largest taxpayer-owned university.

Only a matter of time before an explosion of some sort.....

Ain't that the truth. The sheer audacity of his creating a slush fund at his sole and unfettered discretion and then blatantly saying it's no big deal and he uses it all of the time...??

I'll just quote Vincent Bugliosi after the OJ trial, "Where do you get that kind of guts?? Is there a store that sells them somewhere??"

Gah what a joke of a job and a joke's-worth of aptitude Young has to be paid 6 figures. Depresses me.

Just wait until Young is getting alumni to pony up money for "disadvantaged" athletes, because you know that is going to happen very soon. This arrangement will put the Pony Exce$$ to shame.

Interesting, too, that the majority of Utx-austin alumni are apparently okay with it. They see nothing wrong with coaches sleeping with student interns, or the university president misusing taxpayer dollars to the tune of $100,000 for patronage jobs, or trading admissions to utx law school for less qualified applicants in return for political favors and funding.

They are sips, through and through. It's not unethical nor illegal if they do it.*

Imagine what its going to do for recruiting though. Can't hack it in the league after leaving tu and wasting away all your money? Don't worry, we'll take care of you. Chollie is going to clean up with this kind of additional financial support for his players.

I can see the business cards now:

Austin American Statesman Dateline August 13, 2024

Governor Ramonce Taylor Announces Vince Young Named to Texas Board of Regents

quote:

---

Young, a husband and father of three, keeps busy. His Vince Young Foundation aims at nurturing troubled youth. Young and former Longhorns basketball player Maurice Evans recently launched an initiative to guide professional athletes who've fallen into legal or financial trouble. (In January, Young filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.)

---

$100K is a decent salary I suppose, but this paragraph is just chock full of nonsense.

You live in Austin
You have a wife and three kids
You filed for bankruptcy

But...

You have a private foundation for troubled youth
Launched an initiative for athletes with legal trouble.

I'm guessing he is compenstated in some way by the former and I read the latter as "use my access to professional athletes to steer business to a law firm"...that just happens to make hefty donations to my foundation.

"Young, a husband and father of three"

An article earlier this year said he had 4 children by 4 different women. Who did the math for this article, Vince?

That's all, entirely, Rick Perry's fault.

Welp. Vince Young is in my tax bracket again.
