TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Florida State athletic director Stan Wilcox has received a contract extension and a promotion.

The university announced Friday that Wilcox has been promoted to vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics as part of a contract extension that will expire June 30, 2020. Wilcox's original contract was scheduled to expire in August 2018.

Wilcox became Florida State's athletic director in August 2013 from Duke University, where he was the senior deputy director of athletics. In three years at FSU, Wilcox has led improvements to most of the university's athletic facilities, including a $50 million renovation of Doak Campbell Stadium that is set to be completed before the start of the season.
