Baylor came into the season with some hope of returning to prominence in the Big 12. The season got off to a rocky start with a Baylor one-point loss to Auburn. The loss put Dave Aranda back in a familiar place: on the hot seat. Aranda's job security has long been questioned, and now, after back-to-back losses, including their first loss to Kansas since 2007, a decision has been made about Aranda.
