Baylor247 has learned that Baylor's Director of Athletics Ian McCaw will officially resign from his current position in the near future.

McCaw has been at Baylor in the same position since the 2003-2004 athletic year and was responsible for the hiring of several Baylor coaches within the athletic department including new baseball head coach Steve Rodriguez and new interim football head coach Jim Grobe.

The resigning of McCaw comes less than a week after the Baylor Board of Regents fired head football coach Art Briles and President Kenneth Starr was moved to the University's chancellor position. The movement for all three came as a result of an external review by Pepper Hamilton LLP into the handling of sexual assault cases on campus.

On May 26, the same day which Art Briles was fired, McCaw was placed on probation and sanctioned by the University. While no details emerged as to why McCaw was disciplined, the details of the report potentially led back to McCaw as responsible for oversight within his program.

Under McCaw, Baylor's athletic success had been outstanding dating back several years. The success was highlighted by two conference championships on the football field, two National Championships from the women's basketball program, and two Elite Eights and a Sweet Sixteenby the men's basketball program. The Baylor baseball team also claimed a Big 12 Championship in the 2011 season.
