DESTIN, Fla. -- Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte on Wednesday clarified two issues the football program has made recent headlines for, including a scheduling change request for the season opener against Ohio State and the total amount of NIL money poured into the current roster.
Front Office Sports reported Tuesday that Fox Sports approved Ohio State's idea of moving the blockbuster Week 1 matchup against Texas on Aug. 30 in Columbus from Saturday's noon time slot to prime time Sunday night.
Del Conte, speaking to a small group of reporters at SEC spring meetings, confirmed he was approached about moving the game to Sunday night -- but shut it down because of the day, not the time.
