Baylor Says Review of AD Mack Rhoades Over Alleged Sideline Incidents Is Closed

The university offered no details on findings or discipline.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Rhoades confronted tight end Michael Trigg on Sept. 20 over a gold undershirt, allegedly grabbing his jersey and using an expletive on the sideline.
  • OutKick reports a second postgame incident involving an assistant coach, with witnesses alleging Rhoades grabbed the coach’s arm and neck area and berated him.
  • The Athletic reports head coach Dave Aranda and tight ends coach Jarrett Anderson later had heated words with Rhoades about the episode.
  • Baylor says it reviewed the reports under university policy, took appropriate actions, considers the matter closed, and noted that Rhoades expressed regret and will continue in his role.
  • Reports cite anonymous HR complaints and claims investigators were told video exists, while Trigg’s father says his son wore the shirt to cover a shoulder brace and later received a face-to-face apology.
