If you live in Austin, and especially if you're a student at the University of Texas, you are a little too familiar with how steep the price of parking tickets on campus can be.
Apparently, even if you're on the Texas Longhorns' football team, you aren't immune from the parking police, and one of head coach Steve Sarkisian's prized transfer portal pickups has grown familiar with them quite quickly.
Rasheem Biles, a former Pittsburgh Panthers linebacker who transferred to Texas, shared with media members that despite being on campus for just a few weeks, he has already received upwards of a dozen or so parking tickets.
"The parking tickets," Biles said about the biggest difference between Texas and Pitt. "I’ve gotten like 15 tickets already, at Pitt, the most I got was like 3."

All jokes aside, Biles was a big-time pickup for Sarkisian and the Horns, joining an elite group transferring from other programs to Texas, alongside stars like wideout Cam Coleman and running back Hollywood Smothers.
Biles spent three seasons at Pitt, earning 183 total tackles (87 solo), 13 pass deflections, 10.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, three interceptions for 120 yards, and three defensive touchdowns.
The veteran linebacker isn't the only newcomer taking note of the differences between Austin and his former college town, Coleman answering the question by saying that " the traffic" was so much worse around the 40 Acres than in Auburn, where he spent the last two seasons.

With all jokes and traffic aside, as well as parking tickets paid, Biles had great things to say about the Longhorn program, including the fact that he got to Austin as quickly as he could.
Biles shared that he and Texas's renewed offensive coordinator, Will Muschamp, grabbed dinner recently, and the OC said he had been reaching out to him for a while before ever hearing from Biles. Well, Muschamp was texting his old number.
"I would have been here earlier if I’d gotten his texts," Biles said on joining the Longhorns.
