Cleve Bryant, the longtime right-hand man to Texas football coach Mack Brown, hasn't been on the university's payroll since March 23, according to records obtained Tuesday by the American-Statesman. It's unclear whether he is still a university employee.
Bryant, associate athletics director for football operations, was the subject of an internal investigation regarding allegations by a female staffer. University officials have refused to say anything about the allegations or the investigation.
UT payroll records obtained by the Statesman under the Texas Public Information Act show that Bryant's most recent base salary was $237,309 a year. He received a $15,000 speaking fee supplement in November and had been in line to receive a $25,000 camp fee this summer.
The records show that he has received no compensation since March 23.
Asked whether he is still a university employee, Annela Lopez — the university's open records coordinator — replied, "I would say no because I see no active appointment."
However, Arthur Johnson, assistant athletics director for football operations, said Bryant is still employed by UT but on leave. Bryant is listed on the university's sports website, mackbrown-texasfootball.com, but he is not listed in the directory of employees and students on the main university website, utexas.edu.
Last October, Bryant's lawyer, Tom Nesbitt, told the American-Statesman that Bryant had taken an administrative leave of absence over the matter. Nesbitt declined to comment Tuesday.
Patti Ohlendorf, the university's vice president for legal affairs, did not respond to a request for clarification as to Bryant's status.
Bryant came to Texas in 1991 as an assistant to coach John Mackovic and left in 1995 to work for Brown at North Carolina. He returned to Austin in 1998 with Brown.
