Texas AD Chris Del Conte apologizes for 'inappropriate celebrations' vs Tennessee

Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte issued an apology following his school's twenty to seventeen victory over Tennessee, pointing to uncalled-for antics by Longhorns competitors during the contest. Defensive lineman Colin Simmons picked up an unsportsmanlike infraction during the second quarter after mimicking restroom use following a sack against quarterback Faizon Brandon on September twenty-sixth.

Despite setting a school benchmark with five and a half sacks in the game, Simmons drew sharp criticism from leadership.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the matter by labeling the display a poor football choice that fails to represent the program's standards. Del Conte echoed those sentiments in a late-September communication to supporters, describing the behavior as embarrassing while noting that the athletes have acknowledged their errors and will utilize the situation as a learning opportunity.
