No, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte was not ejected from Saturday night’s game between the Longhorns and Texas Tech.
There was some buzz on Twitter — started by a few reporters — saying that Del Conte had been tossed from the game by a side judge.

Del Conte later addressed reporters and told them he was not ejected and that he had just walked to the other side of the field.
Del Conte tells me he wasn’t ejected. People were yelling on Texas sideline. Ref thought it was him. CDC said, “I just started walking to the other side.” He sure happy about the win.

Del Conte had a lot to celebrate as his team pulled out a 41-34 win over Texas Tech to avoid the upset. The Longhorns are now 7-3 and have turned things around since consecutive losses to Oklahoma State and West Virginia.
