Chuck Fairbanks routinely used spies to glean information from his opponents' closed practices. He tried the same thing against Colorado in 1972 and got caught red-handed.
Professors earn vastly different salaries, depending on their field and the school they teach in. Business school professors make a hell of a lot more money, in part because business schools bring in a ton of $$$ through expensive MBA degrees and alumni donations from the corporate ranks. Next are teachers in the engineering departments, followed by those in the sciences and liberal arts who heavily rely on grants. Business school professors don't have to run labs. Business school Ph.D grads don't slave away in post-doc roles for years, while engineering post-docs will make roughly $60-70K/year at an R1 university. Most science post-docs make the NIH minimum, which was $54k/year up until recently.
From the late 1950s to the early 1970s, the Texas-Arkansas matchup was basically the de facto SWC Championship Game. Both Royal and Broyles won national titles during that time frame as well. Meanwhile A&M had something like nine consecutive losing seasons (except for that one Cotton Bowl win over the Bear they still boast about), Baylor was rarely competitive, TCU + SMU played the occasional spoiler, and Rice + Tech were along for the ride, so to speak.
Fucking Red October. Quentin Griffin just scored again.
Compare that blOU coaching staff to the one Mack had put together. Despite arriving at Texas a year earlier, Mack's was far inferior, especially on the defensive side of the ball. blOU had Mangino and Leach running their offense and Venables + Stoops on the defensive side, while we had GDGD and Bull Reese bumblefucking around.
