At the bottom of this announcement under Volunteer Team, UT states that Vol hostessing ends in August 2019.

Tough call here for UT. But, the conference and NCAA are reportedly looking at banning hostesses.
So, UT may just be acting proactively.
We are, of course, now nationally in the hashtag era of sexual harassment.
Men must be extremely careful both in words and deeds to make sure they are not subject to any charge of impropriety.
And, there’s always the subjection (whether real or imagined) that some schools hostesses do more than just “host” recruits to get them to commit and sign with schools.
I guess it has to end to protect all three groups involved, the athletes/hostesses/school from real or fake threats that could lead to lawsuits and high insurance payouts and premiums.
So, schools may now have nerdy computer geek type males hosting recruits that can help with their class work ? Nah.
Id say current athletes may now just be the only on campus hosts for recruits, I suppose.
I say this being completely serious....
If I was a single guy in today’s world I would have a one page document the girl must sign and she would have to also intial and date next to everything she is willing to do that night.
Just too much to lose and the innocent until proven guilty days are over.
