For the year, he amassed 2,315 passing yards and 12 touchdown passes but left the program, citing a miscommunication with the coaching staff.

During the years in question, 2018 to 2023, Baker grossed a little more than $50 million. After taxes and fees, that would have been reduced to $20 million. So if $12 million was truly stolen or lost inappropriately, that equates to 60% of his total net earnings.

On August 19, 2023, it was revealed that Baker had filed a petition in a court in Austin, Texas, to demand financial records from an investment firm covering the years 2018 to 2023. The petition also demanded depositions from investment managers at six companies. Awkwardly, two of those companies were founded by Baker's father James Mayfield. In the petition Baker sought to uncover what happened to $12 million he invested with the firms. The petition said that Baker does not know "if their money has been properly and competently invested, has been stolen or otherwise misappropriated, or something in between."
