Florida Gators AD Scott Stricklin Signs 3-Year Extension Through 2030

Florida Gators athletic director Scott Stricklin has agreed to a three-year contract extension, keeping him at the helm through 2030. Under Stricklin's leadership since 2016, the Gators have won 13 national championships across various sports, including the 2025 men's NCAA basketball title coached by Todd Golden, whom Stricklin hired. Despite challenges in Florida's football program, where coach Billy Napier holds a 19-19 record over three seasons, recent improvements and a strong finish to the 2024 season have eased pressure on Napier, with Stricklin publicly supporting him. Stricklin's tenure has also been marked by significant fundraising efforts, enabling major facility upgrades totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, even as some coaching hires faced allegations of misconduct. His contract extension signals confidence in his leadership and aligns with Florida's ongoing ambitions in college athletics. The extension was reported by multiple sources including ESPN and 247Sports, though the University Athletic Association has yet to release the revised contract publicly.
