Why Chris Del Conte is concerned after 9-game sec-slate

Why Chris Del Conte is concerned after 9-game sec-slate

by

Commissioner Greg Saney and the people in the SEC offices in Birmingham, Alabama, now know the feelings of Chris Del Cones.

Del Conte would like to see how Texas football and its 15-second colleagues switch to a schedule for the nine games.

“It is like Bengay or an atomic bomb, I am constantly turning with our friends at the second warmth on this topic,” said Del Conte, Athletic Director of Texas, at a Rathau event on Wednesday evening. “We need a ninth game. We'll see if that happens, but we are working on it.”

Sankey said reporters in New Orleans last week that there is “a lot of interest” from the SEC to switch to a conference plan with nine games. In 2025, the SEC teams play eight conference games and four non -conference games – that has already been decided. But the league could move as early as 2026. It is probably no coincidence that 14 members of the league, including Texas, are planned for the next season.

Adding another conference game would go hand in hand with obvious financial advantages for the programs of the SEC and the league would match the planning format of the Big Ten and the BIG 12.

And Del Conte has another reason for being so strict for the step: the longhorns play a neutral site game with Oklahoma every year.

“We get four (home conference) games for a year, we get three,” he said. “If we had a schedule with nine games, there are four and four and we play our rivals in a neutral place.”

Del Conte said that a change to nine conference games would have no influence his wish to plan non -conference games against the largest brands in sports.

Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame will be on Texas's schedule for the next four years.
