He think aggy has a special “don’t hire our coaches” agreement with the NCAA?

It was a gentlemen's agreement, ya stoopid sip!

Texas AD Chris Del Conte met briefly with a small group of reporters here in the lobby of the Hilton Sandestin.

Some notes:

- Wants one football portal in January. Says that other sports could easily have a different portal window. For example, basketball needs to come in the spring after the season.

- "I'm all in on more home games" as it relates to college football expansion. Cited his first-hand experience with the Clemson game last season as well as travel fatigue of fans after having to go to Atlanta twice and Dallas once more during the holiday season.

- Feels like "strength of schedule metrics" need to play a greater role in college football playoff selection process. Cited the NCAA mens and women's basketball tournaments and the college baseball and softball tournaments as relying heavily on strength of schedule and the relative success of the SEC in those. Says current football playoff committee seems too subjective by comparison.

- Del Conte is in favor of expanding the field from 12.

- Del Conte is also in favor of expanding SEC schedule to 9 games, regardless of whether there is a change in the CFP. He wants the 9 game SEC schedule so that he is guaranteed at least four SEC home games every year.

- Said that the ADs did not arrive at a consensus on CFP format and that was not "the goal" of the meetings today.

- Waiting patiently on the approval of the House Settlement. Seems to have some confidence that is will be passed.

- CDC refuted the $40mm NIL figure put forth for the Texas football team by Kirk Bohls. But CDC would not say the amount. CDC said there was some double-counting in Bohls' figures.

- CDC says he wants to continue to schedule at least one major out of conference game per year, the likes of which are Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State. "Our fans want to see great games."

- CDC feels very confident that, no matter of there is a 8- or 9-game schedule, that Texas will continue to play Oklahoma and Texas A&M on an annual basis.

As someone who has not lived in Texas in 20 years (damn, I'm getting old), this is music to my ears.
