Reports: Texas to hire Chris Del Conte as AD

After the Steve Patterson debacle and caretaker tenure of interim athletic director Mike Perrin, the Texas Longhorns finally have a long-term solution in place, as the school is expected to name TCU Horned Frogs athletic director Chris Del Conte as Perrin’s successor.

The Austin American-Statesman broke the news on Saturday, with Horns247 confirming it a short time later.

Since Del Conte will head both the men’s athletic department and the women’s athletic department, Del Conte’s pending hire puts the future of women’s athletic director Chris Plonsky in jeopardy.
