Chris Del Conte called the celebration embarrassing and said Texas players have owned their mistakes after the viral penalty drew public criticism.
- On Tuesday, University of Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte apologized for the top-ranked Longhorns' vulgar on-field celebrations during their win over Tennessee, calling them "embarrassing" for the school.
- Defensive end Colin Simmons drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for mimicking urinating on the field, while running back Raleek Brown participated in a separate controversial celebration during the 20-17 victory.
- Head coach Steve Sarkisian discussed the unacceptable actions with both Simmons and Brown on Monday, as Del Conte wrote the team fell short of representing the university with dignity and respect.
