Texas Longhorns Athletic Director Chris Del Conte has dismissed reported speculation linking him to a potential job within the Big 12 Conference.
Del Conte, who has led the Texas athletics department since 2017, addressed the rumors following the Longhorns' game against the Mississippi Rebels on October 24, 2026, at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.
The speculation emerged amid ongoing conference realignment discussions, but Del Conte made clear he remains committed to his current role with the Longhorns.
