The news last night is that Jim Sterk is not a candidate for the now vacant UCF Athletics Director job. Tennessee hired Danny White from UCF, and the President at UCF is former Mizzou administrator Alexander Cartwright, who was instrumental in bringing Jim Sterk to Missouri. So it was reasonable to connect Sterk to the position. And while White was reportedly making $1.1 million per year while Sterk is making less at around $700,000, he still chose to release a statement affirming his position at Missouri:
Statement from #Mizzou AD Jim Sterk says he’s not a candidate for Central Florida’s AD job.
