<p style="margin-left:40px;">A scathing Horns Digest piece from the summer opened the story of Patterson charging 158 members of the school's Class of 1964 -- back on campus for their 50-year reunion -- $25 apiece just to stand on the field at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Texas also increased ticket prices for football by an average of 21.5 percent, with 59 percent of seats seeing a price increase between 25-50 percent, and doubled ticket cost for faculty and school staff.

Ouch...you know when a college thinks you're going after too much money, that's saying something!!
There are some rather horrifying stories out there about this guy. I try not to wish ill on anyone, but I might make an exception for him.

Makes you wonder how he got the job in the first place.
