Wilcox was named FSU’s 11th full-time Director of Athletics in August of 2013 and promoted to Vice President in July of 2016.
Under him, Seminoles have won three national championships in a span that is generally regarded as one of the most successful in the history of Seminole athletics.
Before arriving at Duke, Wilcox, a former basketball letterman at Notre Dame, spent three years as the deputy director of athletics at his alma mater. Prior to returning to South Bend in 2005, he served 11 years as an associate commissioner of the BIG EAST Conference.
