Dodd throws this in but then doesn't put any context around it.
I think the Baylor AD, Mack Rhoades, is in our corner. Last year, he even came out and said that a G5 school could get pro-rata. He is very close to Brett Yormark. Yormark said that Rhoades was his "sounding board" for 12 months when he first became the commissioner. (Video from last year posted below).
Plus, I would think that the Baylor President being the chair of the NCAA Board of Directors is a plus for us.
Yeah I thought that was odd that he pointed that out too.
As an aside, wasn’t there a poster here that was an academic and knew her professionally? Time to put in a call lol
