Out with the old and in with the new.
A new era of Texas Longhorns athletics officially began when the clock struck midnight. Texas officially left the Big 12 behind for a new life in the SEC.
A new conference meant a lot of work on the Forty Acres would get underway prior to Jul. 1. The Longhorns staff worked tirelessly to change over all the old Big 12 logos to the new SEC.
Before it became official, Texas and the staff from various sports held a Texas-sized celebration on Sunday to usher in this new era of athletics on the Forty Acres.
The official account on X, formerly Twitter, kicked off the fun with a look at the new era of football at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
