Mack Rhoades was introduced as athletic director this afternoon during the Big 12 Media Days. Rhoades will officially take over on August 15th.
Rhoades said the Baylor Board of Regents brought him to the school.
When discussing why he chose Baylor during his introductory remarks, Rhoades mentioned the school, faith, and Waco community. Rhoades noted, “the last several months have been difficult for the Baylor family... the actions will take time and care.”
Rhoades described this as an opportunity to lead in the familiar state of Texas. Rhoades has roots in Texas and was the former athletic director at Houston.
