WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor addressed questions about football coach Dave Aranda's future on Friday, with the school's president saying that the Bears are keeping their sixth-year coach. A letter from Linda Livingstone came a day after athletic director Mack Rhoades stepped down from his position after he had previously taken a leave of absence for personal reasons. Livingstone wrote that a comprehensive review of athletic leadership and the future of the football program had already been underway over the past several weeks.
