COLLEGE STATION, Texas — New Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward did an important thing Monday: He made a good first impression.
Before a crowd of interested Aggies fans and assembled media, Woodward was formally announced as Texas A&M’s new AD.
His first word in office? “Howdy.” That’s a good start. But what he went on to say is the stuff Aggies really wanted to hear.
“What I know from working at two different institutions (LSU and Washington) is that what makes an institution great is not just the rankings or the multi-million dollar facilities,” Woodward said.
