Last weekend, OutKick reported that Baylor AD and CFP Chair Mack Rhoades was involved in a sideline incident with tight end Michael Trigg, followed by a postgame verbal and physical altercation with an assistant coach that led to an investigation and multiple HR complaints. 

On Tuesday night, ESPN hosted the CFP rankings release and did not ask the chairman about the incident that occurred on Sept. 20, which should not come as a surprise given that the CFP has a massive contract with the network. 

Likewise, Mack Rhoades himself did not voluntarily discuss the incident during his appearance on the CFP rankings show.

Following the release was a teleconference with reporters, and the subject was also not addressed. OutKick was not called on, but would have asked Rhoades to address the allegations.

On Sept. 20, as Baylor prepared to face Arizona State in a Big 12 matchup, tight end Michael Trigg was set to take the field for the opening series. As part of his uniform that day, Trigg wore a long-sleeved yellow shirt to cover a shoulder brace.

According to multiple sources, Rhoades went up to Trigg as the ball was being kicked off to start the game, made contact and asked him 'What the f--- are you wearing that yellow shirt for?'

Immediately following the game, as the players were making their way around the field to thank fans, along with convening for the school song, Rhoades was allegedly standing behind Trigg and other coaches. This
