AD Scott Stricklin Contract Renewal

quote:

---

The athletics director is now under contract through Oct. 31, 2027, while his total annual compensation was bumped from about $1.151 million to $1.725 million.

Stricklin's base salary increased from $545,900 on his original deal to $1 million on his new one. He also received a bump from $150,000 annually for media and press relations duties to $270,000 per year.

The rest of Stricklin's compensation package remains the same: He'll get $250,000 annually as a retention bonus, $110,000 annually as a longevity incentive and $95,000 annually in the form of an expense account.

Stricklin's expense account does not include the cost of automobile, travel and fringe benefits that total roughly another $62,000 annually.

Should Florida fire the athletics director without cause, Stricklin would be owed his base salary and retention incentive for the remainder of his contract term.
