Double Standard with regards to the University of Texas athletics

              There is a clear double standard when it comes to athletics at The University of Texas, and it has never been clearer than now. A recent Forbes article stated that The University of Texas athletic department is worth $139 million dollars, 20% more than any other school's athletic department in the country. Logic follows that Texas athletics should be competing for a championship in any sport, every season.
            When Texas' football department suffered three uncharacteristic seasons, ranging from sub-par and no bowl game, to more respectable 5-7 and 8-4 seasons, many were calling for Mack Brown to resign. However, after a 1-2 start this year, it looked like this season would be Mack's last season. But he rallied, and motivated the players, beat Kansas State and Oklahoma, and suddenly the Longhorns could win the Big 12. The losses to Oklahoma State and  Baylor, ended hopes of a BCS game, and Mack was forced to resign.
            There are people who claim Texas is a football school and the coach is under way more scrutiny. But, is he was forced to resign because he wasn't winning games for the university, why do Rick Barnes and Augie Garrido still have their jobs? Texas athletes are recruited well, and we should have a shot at a championship not only in football, but also baseball and basketball.Both the baseball team and the basketball team have been nothing short of mediocre. The last time Texas wasn't knocked out of the NCAA basketball tournament, was when Kevin Durant was playing. The baseball team has not won a championship since 2005. Since winning seems to be the only way a coach at UT can keep his job, it seems Barnes and Garrido should have been fired long ago. Unless the new athletic director Steve Patterson cleans house, so to speak, the reasons behind Mack resigning will be suspect.
