Danny White
In March 2020, White signed a 5-year contract extension — which can be seen in full below.
“I couldn’t be more committed to building UCF for the long term,” White said in the March 2020 news release. “I am humbled to be able to lead such a talented group of coaches, staff, and student-athletes who make it all happen.”
UCF said in a Thursday news release that it will immediately begin a national search for a new vice president and director of athletics following White’s departure.

Earlier this month, new details surfaced regarding Shannon’s March 2020 contract extension.
Shannon’s newest contract included a $1 million annual salary and a hefty buyout, according to records obtained by Knight News.
If UCF were to fire Shannon without cause, UCF would owe him 100% of his $1 million base salary through the term of the agreement, the records state. These terms of Shannon’s agreement had not previously been reported.
Knight News obtained Shannon’s employee agreement on Jan. 5. The document can be viewed here.
Shannon’s previous contract — which was from Dec. 5, 2017, through the end of the 2020 football season — listed his annual rate of pay as $300,000.
