WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades resigned Thursday, a week after he took a leave of absence for personal reasons.

Rhoades also stepped down last week from his role as chairman of the College Football Playoff selection committee.

Linda Livingstone, the school's president, said in a letter Thursday that Rhoades had informed her of his decision to step away from his position at Baylor.
