Six days after our report on Baylor AD and CFP Chairman Mack Rhoades putting his hands on a player before the Arizona State game, followed by a physical altercation with an assistant coach, he is officially taking a "leave of absence" from his job. 

The news also comes just two days following his appearance on the College Football Playoff rankings show, where he did not comment on the investigation that took place.

Rhoades was at the center of a school investigation into an alleged verbal and physical altercation with a football player and assistant coach. 

Now, OutKick can report new allegations were presented to the school on Nov. 10, which do not involve Title IX, student welfare or NCAA rules. They also do not involve the football program.

The circumstances around Mack Rhoades have only intensified over the past month, with Rhoades skipping a prominent booster dinner on Wednesday night as well. 

OutKick spoke to numerous sources regarding this incident, and are protecting their identities because of fear of future retribution regarding this matter.

On Sept. 20, as Baylor was preparing to play Arizona State in a Big 12 conference game, tight end Michael Trigg was preparing to take the field for the opening series against the Sun Devils. As part of the uniform that day, Trigg was wearing a long-sleeved yellow shirt that was being used to cover a brace he was wearing on his shoulder.
