Texas Longhorns athletic director Chris Del Conte joined Paul Finebaum earlier this week.

Predictably, they mentioned the SEC, and Texas’ upcoming transfer to the convention.

“Think about Auburn not playing for Alabama for 40 years or something for a huge stretch,” Del Conte informed Finebaum, in keeping with 247Sports. “I could never imagine that. I think what makes college (sports) so great is those rivalries — those deep-rooted, family rivalries that last a lifetime. You cherish them. Your mom and dad took you to the game. Their parents — your grandparents — took them. When you can see the rivalries between schools and what it means, those (rivalries) are so important. To not play Texas A&M for all these years, it’s just sad and ludicrous. I feel bad for our fans and I feel bad for the state of Texas.”
