Texas AD Sparks Controversy with Bold Push for 9-Game Conference Shakeup—What It Means for College Football’s Future
“I’ve always been a proponent of 9 league games because of our Red River game vs. Oklahoma in Dallas,” Del Conte said, per McMurphy.
Playing nine conference games would allow both Texas football and Oklahoma to play four games at home in conference play and four games on the road in league play, to go along with the neutral site game at the Cotton Bowl against the Sooners. Georgia and Florida would have a similar benefit, as they play each year in Jacksonville.
Other conferences, such as the Big Ten, have already gone to nine conference games, so it would be no surprise to see the SEC follow suit. That change would also give fans more marquee matchups to look forward to throughout the season.
