"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Texas president Gregory Fenves has not made a decision about the future of athletic director Steve Patterson, but is considering parting ways with him, reports Chip Brown of HornsDigest.com.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since being named school president in June, Fenves has received multiple complaints about Patterson, including a lack of transparency in both handling football season ticket holders and financing a new tennis facility, as well as poor outreach to donors and failed communication with his own department employees.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brown reports that football coach Charlie Strong, basketball coach Shaka Smart and baseball coach Augie Garrido all report directly to associate athletic director Arthur Johnson, and not Patterson.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Texas will charge Texas Tech band under new agreement&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Texas athletic department has also dealt with a football program that has suffered from a string of lackluster years, failing to reach the 10-win mark since winning 13 and reaching the BCS National Championship Game in 2009.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Patterson was named Texas AD in Nov. 2013, a little over a year after assuming the same position at Arizona State. He is also a former president and general manager of the NBA's Portland Trailblazers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Alex Nieves&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
