Cody Campbell has expressed his belief that Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte is a strong candidate for the job, citing Del Conte's strategic thinking and experience. While Campbell advocates for Del Conte, the AD has publicly distanced himself from the position, stating, "Absolutely none" when asked about his interest. Tim Pernetti from the American Athletic Conference has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the commissioner role.
