A nationwide search is underway at Mississippi State for its next director of athletics.
Scott Stricklin was unanimously voted in to replace Jeremy Foley in the same position at the University of Florida Tuesday morning and a press conference has been scheduled for noon CT to formally make that announcement.
Stricklin agreed to a six-year deal worth $1.076 million annually.
Meanwhile in Starkville, MSU president Mark Keenum has already started looking for Stricklin’s successor, which would be the university’s 17th director of athletics and fourth in the last decade.
