Rhoades would replace former athletic director Ian McCaw, who resigned in the midst Baylor’s scandal and Title IX lawsuit regarding the way the school handled sexual-assault cases involving its football players. Coach Art Briles lost his job and Baylor president Ken Starr was reassigned as chancellor and later resigned from that position.  Star remains a law school teacher.
