Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin made a bold move and tweeted an invitation to Power 5 conference schools to discuss scheduling a home-and-home with Florida football.

Well, if it’s attention he was looking for Florida football, Gators athletic director Scott Stricklin certainly got it.

(Note: due to an oversight on my part, No. 5 is Texas and that home-and-home has already been scheduled, so thanks to all for pointing out my error)

Fresh off tweeting an invitation to the athletic directors of Power 5 conference schools to schedule a home-and-home series with Florida football, Stricklin’s social media account exploded.

There were some, like Clemson AD Dan Radakovich asking Stricklin to call about a series in 2037-2038 to Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard suggesting the SEC schedule nine conference games so Florida football would have more Power 5 conference games.

He even talked to Paul Finebaum during his show Wednesday:
