Texas AD Chris Del Conte favors 9-game SEC football schedule

DESTIN, Fla. -- When Texas does join the Southeastern Conference next year, the Longhorns prefer to play as many league games as possible and Texas A&M every year.

"For where we're at, and having Oklahoma at a neutral site, I prefer more games," Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said Wednesday.

That might have to wait.

The SEC remained undecided on increasing the number of conference games it plays in 2024 from eight to nine, with some athletic directors saying they would like more time and information.

"That's an interesting way for them to communicate their perspective," commissioner Greg Sankey said.
