Every so often, a story crops up of a back and forth between athletes getting their meals limited by their respective universities. Last year, former UConn guard Shabazz Napier told media he’d go to sleep “starving” because the school didn’t provide enough stipend for meals. It ultimately led to the NCAA approving unlimited meals.
Well, looks like some Texas coaches are about to go to sleep hungry too.
In a somewhat bizarre move, the Longhorns are pulling free meals from all their coaches to save roughly $300,000. Texas isn’t hurting for money. In fact, they raked in $161 million in revenue (a $7 million profit), landing them second among every school.
