The good news (for UT), is that oil money flows in day after day. The bad news is that the Texas oilmen tend to use that oil money as a club. You can lay book that more than several coaches (at UT) have been shown the door because the alums/benefactors have soured on a coach (mostly for the above- non Nati's). Probably fake news, but read that an alum called the coach, and told him there's a DB he wanted a schollie offered to. Kinda like the golden rule - He who has the gold, makes the rules. And the institution is so dependent on those petro-dollars, they make 'allowances' for their donors. Might point out tOSU's 'own' oilman - Les Wexner. What I imagine to be the same sorta thing.....
