| | | | | | Florida Gators: Encyclopedia II - Southeastern Conference - Rivalries in Other Sports in the SEC The top athletic priority throughout the SEC is football, with one exception. Kentucky, which has one of the most storied basketball traditions in the country, is also one of only two Division I-A schools to earn more revenue from its basketball program than its football program. (The other is Arizona.) Vanderbilt and Arkansas also place more emphasis on basketball vis-a-vis football than most other SEC schools.

Florida Gators - NACDA Directors’ Cup.
Florida has finished in the top 10 in national all sports rankings every year since 1983-84 UCLA is the only other program that has matched that feat. Perhaps more impressive is that Florida has managed this accomplishment while fielding fewer sports than other perennial top athletic programs.
In the 2004-05 academic calendar, Florida finished sixth place in the NACDA Directors' Cup, with eleven different Gator teams finishing in the top 10 of their respective sport ...

Her brother, Michael, has been an assistant on the staff since 2001.

He departed for the University of Illinois after an unspectacular 1995 season.
Jeremy Foley, looking for a young coach with a proven track record, hired Billy Donovan, then at Marshall, as Kruger's replacement. His recruiting prowess was evident early, bringing future NBA star Jason Williams with him from Marshall and having ear ...
