The University of Missouri has another interim athletic director, as the school continues its search for a permanent replacement for Mack Rhoades, who left in July to take the A.D. opening at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
On Wednesday, longtime Mizzou administrator Sarah Reesman was named as the third interim athletic director in the wake of Rhoades’ decision, following Wren Baker, who left to take the A.D. job at North Texas last Friday, and interim chancellor Hank Foley, who took the job after Baker’s departure.
MU reports that Reesman will remain in the interim athletic director spot until a permanent replacement is named. Reesman is a native of Boonville, and has been with the University of Missouri athletic department for the past 23 years.
In other news from Mizzou Athletics, Interim Chancellor Foley, on Wednesday, said that the internal investigation of softball coach Ehren Earleywine did not reveal Title IX violations.
Earleywine has been under fire after an investigation began on April 5th, in the wake of complaints from some softball players. The program’s two best pitchers from last season, Paige Lowary and Tori Finucane, have been announced transfers to other schools this summer, with Lowary headed to Oklahoma and Finucane to Minnesota, although their decisions to leave were not immediately verified to have been made as a result of the turmoil in the MU program.
