Chris Del Conte has agreed to a lucrative new contract with Texas, according to multiple reports.
Since 2017, Chris Del Conte has been the steady hand leading the Texas athletic department. Under Del Conte’s leadership, the Longhorns have once again become a powerhouse in football.
Steve Sarkisian was hired as the head coach of the Texas football program in 2021, and by 2023, he had brought the Longhorns into the College Football Playoff.
College Football Insider Brett McMurphy was first to report the Longhorns are giving Del Conte a new 11-year, $38.8 million contract pending Board of Regents Approval. They are proposing an 18.4% increase in compensation for Del Conte, with an extra $5.5 million in incentives he’s eligible to receive.

— Inside Texas (@InsideTexas) August 18, 2025The football program was the key for Del Conte. After removing Tom Herman because the Longhorns were not reaching their potential, they once again emerged as contenders under Sarkisian. The football program’s success makes every other program that much better, by extension, due to the money it brings in.
The most prominent example of money not being an issue for Del Conte and the Texas athletic department was the recent hire of Sean Miller as the head coach of the basketball program. Shaka Smart was not a fit in Austin, a scandal marred Chris Beard, and they jumped the gun with Rodney Terry over the last several years, but they landed on Miller and offered him a six-year contract worth $31.8 million.
The raise is massive for Del Conte, but he has helped reshape this athletic department for the better, and many Texas fans would say that it is justified due to that makeover.
