Sam Khan on Texas A&M's Rise While Baylor Faces Uncertainty After Mack Rhoades Steps Away

Sam Khan Jr., senior college football writer for The Athletic, joins 365 Sports to discuss the breaking news surrounding Baylor Athletic Director Mack Rhoades stepping away amid ongoing internal turmoil. Khan shares insight into what this means for Baylor’s leadership structure, how it impacts head coach Dave Aranda’s future, and why the situation extends beyond Waco given Rhoades’ role as College Football Playoff Committee Chair. The conversation then shifts to Texas A&M’s resurgence under Mike Elko, the program’s recruiting and roster overhaul, and how the Aggies have become a model for rebuilding through discipline, culture, and smart portal moves. Khan closes by assessing Texas Tech’s Big 12 dominance, potential SEC upsets, and the national playoff picture as chaos continues to define the 2025 season. #collegefootball #cfb #cfp #baylor #aggies #mackrhoades Learn more about your ad choices.
