Del Conte will replace current Texas AD Mike Perrin, who has been serving on an interim capacity since 2015.
Del Conte has served as AD at TCU since 2009, overseeing the university's move to the Big 12 and the rapid growth of the Horned Frogs' football program. TCU's athletic facilities have seen numerous upgrades under his leadership, including multi-million dollar renovations to both Amon G. Carter Stadium and Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena.
TCU recently announced the new fundraising efforts for expanded club seating at Amon G. Carter, what will most likely go down as the cherry on top of the Del Conte era.
