Mack B. Rhoades, IV, who has provided outstanding leadership and vision for three NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision athletic programs, was named Baylor University’s Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on July 13, 2016. Rhoades has organized a team of dynamic administrators and restructured the athletics department to maximize efficiencies across teams. His concept of Preparing Champions for Life has provided the ongoing vision for Baylor Athletics, which aims to bolster the student-athlete experience by focusing on the areas of academic achievement, athletic success, character formation and spiritual growth. Over his five years in Waco, Baylor has won 21 Big 12 titles and six national championships. For the second-consecutive full term (not including the COVID-shortened 2019-20 campaign), the Bears brought home multiple national championships. After acrobatics & tumbling won its fifth-straight title and women’s basketball clinched their third national championship in 2019, A&T extended to six straight in 2020-21 and men’s basketball claimed its first in program history. In June 2021, Rhoades was selected as Sports Business Journal’s 2021 Athletics Director of the Year, marking the second Athletics Director of the Year honor earned by Rhoades in as many years. He was chosen as 2019-20 NACDA Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year in March 2020. The 2020-21 academic year, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, brought success for Baylor Athletics as the department combined to bring 20 trophies home to Waco. Men’s basketball won its first Big 12 regular-season title and clinched its first conference title since 1950 en route to winning every NCAA tournament game by an average of 15.3 points to claim its first-ever national championship.
