Former Baylor athletics director Ian McCaw was named Liberty’s new AD on Monday.
McCaw resigned from his post at Baylor, where he helped transform the Bears to a national power in football, following a widespread sexual assault scandal that led to McCaw being sanctioned and placed on probation. It also cost coach Art Briles his job. Earlier this fall it was reported that Baylor regents claimed McCaw and Briles were both informed of a gang rape that involved football players but they failed to report the allegations.
“My vision for Liberty is to position it as a pre-eminent Christian athletic program in America and garner the same type of appeal among the Christian community as Notre Dame achieves among the Catholic community and BYU garners from the Mormons,” McCaw said in a statement.
