Texas Longhorns athletic director Chris Del Conte has dismissed speculation linking him to a potential leadership role within the Big 12 Conference. Del Conte addressed the rumors on Wednesday, stating that he remains committed to his position at the University of Texas.
The speculation arose amid ongoing conference realignment discussions. Del Conte, who has served as Texas' athletic director since 2017, was photographed during the Longhorns' game against the Mississippi Rebels at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on October 24, 2026.
