Texas A&M Athletic Director Scott Woodward made waves earlier this summer when he put Kevin Sumlin on notice. There wasn’t going to be any more subpar seasons for Texas A&M Football. If the Aggies do stumble on the gridiron again, it will be Sumlin who will see the door.
It’s not unreasonable for Woodward to demand success. Kevin Sumlin makes a good amount of money. They don’t pay him to lose. But Sumlin isn’t the only man in the athletic department that’s getting a big check. In fact, it’s Woodward himself that has the highest base salary among all 14 athletic directors in the SEC.
