Did the Texas administration  overpay when it extended football coach Steve Sarkisian’s contract from $5.6 annually to $10.3 million through 2030?

Statesman sports columnists Cedric Golden and Kirk Bohls argue the merits in this week’s On Second Thought podcast. Longhorn legend Keith Moreland drops in to give an early season primer on Texas baseball’s 3-1 start, including his take on right-hander Tanner Witt’s slow start after offseason Tommy John surgery.

Moreland also dives into the never-ending debate surrounding the transfer portal, the NIL and his final season of games on Longhorn Network with his longtime broadcast partner Greg Swindell.
