As Hurricane Harvey causes record flooding in the Houston area, Baylor Vice President and Director of Athletics Mack Rhoades has offered the university’s help in assisting Houston-area schools.

The Rice football team, coming off a 62-7 loss to No. 14 Stanford on Saturday in Sydney, flew to Los Angeles on Monday morning and relocated to Fort Worth to stay on TCU’s campus.

Rice head coach David Bailiff said a few universities across the state reached out to him in support of the team.

“I want to thank the staffs at TCU, SMU, Baylor and UTEP who all reached out to offer whatever help we needed,” Bailiff told ESPN.
