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.

WTF. Who the fvvk is their agent that gets them an 83% raise just in their base salary? Not to mention Stricklin got this extension AFTER he effed up so bad and well before he hired Napier. I need him to renegotiate my next contract...

Meh. If Napier pans out he’s earned it. If not, he’s out on his ass with him.

Well that POS Strichnine has it figured out. Give raises and extensions to the Garbage coaches we have already whether he hired them or not and that will directly result in a raise and extension for himself. Give mo' money, get mo' money. Clearly our administration ranks right down there with the former football coaching staff.

Well with Ken Fuchs as President...it's no wonder.

I am glad he fired Mullen and...so far...BN seems to be a great hire, time will tell. But, dang, how can it not be obvious that Mike White is the elephant in the athletic department room? Earn your newly acquired money, Scott, do something about him.

But were you glad he hired Cousin Eddie at the time?

Truthfully, I don't get too up or down about any hire. I assume these people know far more than I do and so I do try to give any coach a chance. It's never my call and what I want or don't want doesn't mean squat. Actually, despite Mullen's mediocre record, with an opportunity like UF and that he'd been here before he should have done better. He proved he couldn't handle it, the dumbass did himself in.

Look at the upgrades in facilities, starting with football. There was a lot of criticism about the time needed to do it right, moving the baseball field to do it, but now it’s going to be best for the long haul.

Fundraising is a critical part of his job. He’s doing very well with that part.

I especially like his plaid button-downs. He’s the Van Heusen man.

Not a surprise given the fact that nobody actually cares about women's hoops. Head scratching pay raise given the fact he was the one who hired Mullen. Dude must be good at fundraising because this is clearly not a merit based pay raise and contract extension.

What company gives such a raise in compensation to someone whose negligence and liability has been so on display? Yes, he speaks well and is measured. Yes, he fired Mullen, finally, but only after apparently not requiring accountability but saying the program has much more accountability under doofus Dan?

Wishing Stricklin gone and replaced by a football type is old worn-out thinking. UF sets itself apart from the SEC by not being a Deep South school, but rather by being the UCLA of the SEC. That’s not just now. The emphasis for decades now has shifted to all-sports. That’s not changing anytime soon and neither is the slick administrator-as-AD approach to managing it.

We’re a public corp as much as a public university.

THIS...And it will not change unless parents demand it
