AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas has long paid tribute to its greatest athletes and coaches by placing their names in its hallowed Hall of Honor. Now it finally has a physical Hall of Fame to help Longhorns fans celebrate them.
The school unveiled the new Frank Denius Family University of Texas Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday to highlight the past and present of a program that was won 55 national championships, hundreds more conference titles and produced nearly 200 Olympians.
"So much of our history was scattered throughout campus and in our various sports venues," athletic director Chris Del Conte said.
