Barnes receives 200,000 raise

Longhorns men’s basketball coach Rick Barnes received a $200,000 raise on Wednesday, bringing his overall yearly salary to $2.4 million, which keeps him among the nation’s 10 highest-paid men’s coaches.

I would say Barnes definitely deserves the raise considering all the success he has had. And after what we saw happen to Texas A&M with Mark Turgeon who darted to Maryland, I think it is smart what the Athletic Directors have done with making sure Barnes stays with his Texas family for quite some time.
