Eligible for a bowl game thanks to his team's four-game winning streak, Baylor coach Dave Aranda was informed he will return in 2025. The Bears are vying to keep those good vibes going into their next Big 12 test at Houston on Saturday. Baylor (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) outgunned West Virginia 49-35 last week to continue its turnaround from a 2-4 start. That same day, a school spokesperson said Aranda -- whose Bears went 6-7 and 3-9 in the two seasons since winning the 2021 Big 12 title and the Sugar Bowl -- will return next season. "I feel like they've had my back the whole way," Aranda said Monday of the endorsement.
