COLUMBIA, MO. • With Wren Baker being formally introduced as North Texas' new athletics director, Missouri chancellor Hank Foley has identified a new person to temporarily run Mizzou athletics: Hank Foley.
The chancellor will essentially replace Baker, who had been serving as MU's interim AD since Mack Rhoades left for the AD position at Baylor earlier this month. Foley could have promoted a handful of senior athletics administrators but will oversee the department instead.
"We'd like to extend our best wishes to Wren and his family, who have extended family close to Denton," Foley said in a prepared statement.
