    So name jobs 6-19 that are better than Texas….taking venue, transfer portal and NIL into account.

    You don’t seem to grasp the concept of “destination” job. There aren’t “6-19” (?) better jobs. 3 or 4 maybe. 
    As Texas fans we are often too myopic in our viewpoints and understanding of the sport and wider culture beyond our cloistered experience.

    Baseball

    Swimming & Diving

    Golf

    Those three men's sports without question.

    And despite what you say, Texas is still considered a top-echelon job in football. 

    As for basketball - not the very top tier, but absolutely a top 20 job.

    DESTINATION JOB,  not good or great or top-echelon-the ultimate job in the profession. (OK, I’ll give you golf. 😉).

    there are a handful of destination jobs in men's cbb, and the texas job is one of them, along with (imo) KU and UNC more than any other jobs, including duke and ucla. it's not about the paycheck, it's about the city, the resources, the ability to win at the highest level, the arena, the overall success of the Texas Athletic Department, the number of top flight coaches on campus, the recruiting hotbed that is the state of Texas, and the wildly low fan standards and expectations compared to any other big name job. this job has everything. it's as good of a gif as any in cbb. 

    Much of what you say is true but it doesn’t make it the ultimate destination. Not saying it isn’t a great job, but the ultimate job, “destination” position it just isn’t.  At one point the football coaching job was, but no longer is.
    You forgot a little thing called “tradition”. Texas has only a mediocre historical basketball history, no one outside of the Longhorn incubator, would ever think of it as such.

  4. With the exception of several women’s team positions, no men’s sports are any longer considered “destination” jobs. $$$ doesn’t make a job an apex of the sport.
