LSU athletic director Scott Woodward, who has made a name for himself by hiring high-profile coaches, is set to receive a four-year contract extension that would pay him $1.85 million per year.
LSU's board of supervisors is scheduled to vote on the extension Friday afternoon.
Woodward's new contract would run through April 30, 2029, and includes academic incentives that could boost his pay by as much as $250,000 per year. Should he meet certain benchmarks, he could earn $500,000 bonuses in fiscal year 2025 and 2029.
Also included in the contract is a "Milestone Performance Payment" of $500,000 should any varsity sport team win a national championship or three teams win SEC championships.
