Waco, Texas — Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw has resigned, less than a week after he was put on probation as part of the school’s reaction to a scathing report about its failure to properly respond to allegations of sexual assaults.

The announcement of McCaw’s resignation came a little more than an hour after Baylor hired former Wake Forest football coach Jim Grobe to replace the ousted Art Briles.

McCaw said in a statement he was stepping down because it would be help Baylor promote “unity, healing and restoration.”

Last week Briles was suspended with intent to terminate and university president Kenneth Starr was demoted.

McCaw has been AD since 2003, hired after a scandal involving the men’s basketball program led to the resignation of then-athletic director Tom Stanton.

Baseball Texas Legend Garrido Out

Austin, Texas — Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in college baseball history, is out after 20 seasons at Texas.

The decision Monday comes after the Longhorns’ first losing season since 1998. Texas will miss the NCAA postseason for the third time in five years.

The university said in a statement the 77-year-old Garrido will become special assistant to athletic director Mike Perrin. The school said he was “relinquishing his duties” as coach.

Garrido had one year left on a contract that paid him nearly $1.1 million. He had said he wouldn’t resign and wanted to stay.

Garrido has 1,975 victories dating to 1969. He won five College World Series titles — three with Cal-State Fullerton (1979, 1984, 1995) and two with Texas (2002, 2005). Texas this season finished 25-32.
