  • KMUW - Boatright to receive remainder of salary - $300K - after being fired by Wichita State

    Wichita State’s former Athletic Director Darron Boatright will receive the remainder of his salary as part of a separation agreement with the university.

    According to the agreement released Friday, Boatright will be paid $300,000 in equal installments of more than $11,000 every two weeks until June 2023.

    The university did not give a specific reason for firing Boatright this month. But President Rick Muma said in a statement that there were significant, ongoing concerns he thought could not be addressed.

    • Yeah, there probably wasn't a way in getting around this at this point. The way around it would have been to never give him the contract to begin with. But that ship had sailed.

      He needed to be gone. But probably not much else to do from a legal standpoint.

      • The department was going to lose a lot more than that keeping him around.

          • There's an article on kansas.com regarding the separation agreement and it includes the actual agreement. Here's a direct link to the agreement in case anyone is interested in reading it - https://drive.google.com/file/d/17tk...ZzFMTXiUm/view

            • It took two years, but he finally looks like he might find a landing spot. It required him to drop down a number of levels which shouldn't surprise anyone considering how incompetent and lazy he is.

              Eagle - Former WSU AD Darron Boatright finalist for Alabama HS executive director: report

              Former Wichita State athletic director Darron Boatright has surfaced as a candidate to lead the Alabama High School Athletic Association.

              According to Simone Eli, a television reporter in Mobile, Alabama, Boatright is one of two finalists for the AHSAA executive director position and will interview for the job on Thursday. The other finalist, per Eli, was Heath Harmon, Oxford (Ala.) High School principal.

              Boatright has plenty of experience in the state of Alabama, albeit at the NCAA level. He earned his master’s in higher education administration from the University of Alabama in 2004, served as director of men’s basketball operations under coach Mark Gottfried from 1999-2005. He also was a special campaigns director in the athletic department.
              If they're smart, they'll hire the principal.
