Florida A&M University’s incoming athletics director John Davis will be stepping into the role with a pay boost of over $75,000 compared to what he’s making under his current title as Florida Lottery’s secretary.
In a FAMU employment contract obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat Dec. 3 after a public records request, Davis’ annual salary rate is listed as $250,000. During his time as the 10th secretary of the Florida Lottery – a role he was appointed to by Florida governor and ally Ron DeSantis in 2020 – his annual salary has been $174,371.
