MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY

Mississippi State Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin was named a winner of the 2015-16 Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year Award on Wednesday by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). The ADOY Award highlights the efforts of athletics directors at all levels for their commitment and positive contributions to student-athletes, campuses and their surrounding communities. Stricklin will officially receive the honor on June 15 at NACDA’s 51st Annual Convention in Dallas, Texas. Stricklin, 45, has spearheaded MSU Athletics to unprecedented heights from record fundraising, Bulldog Club memberships and fan attendance to nearly $140 million invested in facility projects since he took office in May 2010. Despite one of the smallest athletic budgets in the Southeastern Conference, MSU Athletics is one of a handful nationally that receives no institutional funding, yet continues to be highly-efficient and financially successful. –wtok.com– Read More
