Liberty University hires former Baylor athletic director who resigned during sexual assault scandal
LYNCHBURG — Liberty University announced Monday that its new athletics director is Ian McCaw, who resigned as Baylor University’s athletics director in May after being sanctioned and placed on probation by the Texas school when its athletics program became embroiled in a sexual assault scandal.
The announcement came just 11 days after the abrupt resignation of Liberty athletics director Jeff Barber.
Under McCaw’s 13-year watch at the Waco, Texas-based university, the Bears won four national championships and more than 50 Big 12 championships.
