Plus: The minister of culture speaks
Multiple outlets are reporting that Texas Longhorns athletic director Chris Del Conte has no intention of following Texas president Jay Hartzell to Dallas to join the SMU Mustangs.
From USA Today: “Naturally, there has been speculation that Hartzell and the big money boosters at SMU might target Del Conte to take over the Mustangs resurgent athletic department. But Del Conte dismissed the rumors on Sunday in a tweet, where one user asked him ‘@_delconte I sure hope the rumors of you being enticed to go to SMU aren’t true! The Luka trade was already too much to handle!!! :)’ Del Conte replied with a gif that featured Ted Lasso with the caption ‘1000% false.’”
