June Jones-What Happened?

[JerryCarr]

Uh, Damon, I hate to join in jumping on your Texas football knowledge, but as an alumnus of the University of Texas, I can tell you that if the coach wants a jet to go recruiting, he gets it. UT is heavily endowed with alumni money for such purposes, and athletics at UT is a self-supporting auxiliary of the University receiving zero funds from the State Treasury. I know this because they send me full-color solitation glossies about four times a year with the pitch, "Make sure the Longhorns get what they need." Of course there are limitations as to how such money can be spent and it goes through a regulated foundation, but they are NCAA and Big Twelve Confererce rules, not the State. And SMU works under the same rules, just in a different conference.

Hook 'em Horns!
