I mean, the other thing to consider is that it's commutable from Austin. It's counterintuitive, but universities in large metros can pay less because that's where the oversupply of Ph.D.s is. Definitely too low, though. Going rate is 50 these days, right?
But so is supply of labor right? You have to pay people well to move to small midwestern towns. Someone who is hell bent on staying in central Texas has to just kinda take what they can get if they want an academic job... which sucks, they should pay more, but also you have to be willing to move.
