Missouri names Wren Baker interim athletic director
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
Wren Baker is the man for the job at Missouri, for now.
On the same day that Mack Rhoades left Missouri to take the position of athletic director at Baylor, little time was wasted in naming Baker as the interim athletic director in his place.
Missouri chancellor Hank Foley released a statement confirming the announcement:

Rhoades had recruited Baker from Memphis in May of 2015, where he had served as Deputy Director of Athletics/External Affairs beginning in February of 2013.
