AUSTIN, Texas — The thing about Texas Longhorns athletics director Chris Del Conte is that he rarely has to apologize publicly.
Less than a year ago, Del Conte was justifiably named the Sports Business Journal’s Athletics Director of the Year several weeks before Texas officially locked up its third straight Directors’ Cup as the nation’s most successful athletics department.
On Wednesday evening, however, in the UT Touchdown Club located in the north end zone of Darrell K Royal Texas-Memorial Stadium at the annual Town Hall which serves as Del Conte’s State of the Union, he had to face more direct frustration than normal regarding the status of parking at the East Campus garage for baseball games at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
