USA Today recently published a top-25 ranking of college football’s top powerbrokers. Perhaps predictably given the Texas Longhorns brand power and recent strength on the actual gridiron, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte was ranked No. 17 on the list.
“[Del Conte] oversees a department that generated the most total operating revenue nationally in fiscal year 2024 at $331.9 million with $325 million in operating expenses. Helped spearhead Texas going to the SEC where it started league play in 2024. That move set off a round of conference realignment.”
Not to mention the fact that Del Conte hired current football head coach Steve Sarkisian.
