AAS: "Texas athletics lays off at least 13 staff members in departmental restructuring"


By Brian Davis

At least 13 Texas athletic department staffers were notified Monday morning they were being laid off, a source told the American-Statesman Monday.

Athletic director Chris Del Conte confirmed to the Statesman that some staffers were notified on Monday. But Del Conte has compared the UT athletic department to a "battleship." Part of that is the sheer size of the staff.

Another source familiar with the layoffs described those summoned to a morning meeting with Del Conte as "rank-and-file" employees.

"These are good people," Del Conte said an interview with the Statesman. "It's hard for me to look at a piece of paper and say, 'That's just a name.' I understand the expectations placed on coaches. But we're talking about staff. They're good people. They have families. These types of decisions are always difficult.

"But my job is to create the most efficient department I can for the betterment of our student-athletes and coaches," he added.

According to salary data previously obtained by the Statesman, the UT athletic department had 448 full-time staff members with an aggregate base salary total of approximately $47.3 million. The Longhorns typically have more than 500 athletes, creating almost a 1:1 ratio, something unheard of in major college athletics.

No worries. Vince is paid by the academic side of the University, not the Athletic Department.

Curious though. How many student's tuition dollars go to pay his salary?

How much money did Vince put in UT's pocket during his playing years?

In the Athletic Department, lots. The academic side, none. The job of the University is to educate students, not be an employer of last resort for favored athletes.

That's what happens when you have multiple seven figure ex-coaches being paid out.

Tell Randy that China subsidizes their currency on the backs of slave labor.

Never mind. Randy reads every post on Texags

I didn't realize this was justification for a state academic job. Why don't we just all put this performance bonus out there for prospects?

Seems fair he gets something from the academic side of the school. He sure didn't get **** from them when he was a student.

To be fair, things trended up for Vintz after tu added him to their payroll.

First time I've seen "Vince" and "academic" in the same sentence.

What does VY do to earn his keep? Is literacy a requirement for his academic job?

Once the football and other coaches' salaries are excluded, I suspect the average salary is much lower than $105,580 and those were the 13 laid off.
