Baylor's Top Sports Boss Takes a Break: What's Going On?

Head of Baylor's Sports Programs Takes Leave

Mack Rhoades, the head of Baylor's sports programs, has decided to step back from his job for a while. This isn't just any old break; he's also leaving his big role in college football's important playoff committee.

Personal Reasons Cited

Baylor said it's for personal reasons, but there's more to the story.

Long Career in College Sports

Rhoades has been in charge at Baylor since 2016, but he's had a long career in college sports, working at other big schools too.

Recent Incidents

Recently, there were reports about him having some heated moments with a football player and a coach during a game. But Baylor says that's old news and already dealt with.

New Investigation

Now, there's a new investigation happening, but it's not about the game incidents. This one is about different things, and Baylor says it doesn't involve any rules about equal treatment or direct contact with athletes. They're not saying much more than that.

Questions Remain

People are wondering what this all means. Is it really just personal stuff, or is there more going on? Baylor says they're committed to treating everyone well, but with Rhoades taking a break, there are a lot of questions.
