Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte recently explained his decision to reject moving the Ohio State game to a Sunday, citing both logistical and personal reasons.
When asked why he didn’t want the game moved to Sunday night, Del Conte stated, “Why would I want to move the game to Sunday night and have a short week? I’ve got to go to church.”
This comment, while perhaps partially in jest, highlights a few key points:
* Short Week for the Team: Moving a Saturday game to Sunday would give the team less time to prepare for their next matchup, which is a significant concern for any athletic director.
* Personal Commitment: Del Conte also explicitly mentioned his personal desire to attend church on Sundays. This suggests a value he places on his Sunday routine.
The game is currently scheduled for noon ET on Saturday, August 30th. Ohio State had reportedly proposed moving it to Sunday, August 31st, but Texas declined the idea.
