The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics awarded Scott Stricklin the Under Armour ‘Athletics Director of the Year Award’ on Wednesday. Stricklin has been at the head of numerous projects in athletics since he became Mississippi State’s Athletics Director in 2010, including the recent $75 million expansion and renovation of Davis Wade Stadium. He also oversaw expanisons of Humphrey Coliseum and the softball and tennis complexes. Athletics have thrived under Stricklin, as the MSU football team completed the winningest two-year stretch in program history(19-7) and the women’s basketball team earned its highest national ranking in program history(No. 6). Stricklin will receive the award on June 15.
