Arizona athletic director search: New Baylor A.D. Mack Rhoades a U of A grad

In July of 2016, now 51-year-old Mack Rhoades left the Missouri Tigers to take the vacant athletic director job at Baylor University. This came just over a year after he had left his job as Houston’s athletic director to go to Mizzou.

So now that Rhoades’ alma mater has a vacancy for that position, could he be on the move once again?

A Tucson native, Rhoades graduated from The University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in health sciences. However, he started his college career as a pre-med student, dropped out to join his friend’s business opportunity, then returned to school after selling that business for nine times the amount they had invested in it.
