New Maryland athletic director Damon Evans signed a six-year contract worth upwards of $800,000 annually, according to a copy of the contract obtained Friday.
Evans, 48, will receive $600,000 in base salary and another $120,000 in supplemental income — nearly double what he was making after taking over as the department’s acting athletic director in October.
On June 25, Evans was officially named the permanent replacement for Kevin Anderson, who resigned in April after spending the previous six months of his 7½ year tenure on sabbatical.
According to the contract, Evans can also receive up to $45,000 annually in “performance goals" compensation if there are increases in Terrapin Club memberships and donations, as well as for the overall performance of the teams.
