Baylor has announced the departure of athletic director Mack Rhoades, according to a statement shared by the school.
Rhoades was placed on leave earlier this month due to personal reasons, and stepped down from his post as the chair of the College Football Playoff committee. Rhoades was placed on leave after the university was made aware of a "violation" of the faith-based policies of the school. The allegations against Rhoades were not related to Title IX, student welfare or NCAA rules.
Rhoades had been with Baylor as the school's athletic director since July of 2016, and was responsible for stabilizing the athletic department after the scandalous end of the Art Briles era, which resulted in numerous sanctions as a result of Title IX.
