    PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh and men’s basketball coach Jeff Capel have agreed to a contract extension that runs through at least the 2029-30 season. Capel has a 97-92 record in six years with the Panthers, leading the program to the NCAA tournament in 2023. Athletic director Heather Lyke praised Capel for rebuilding Pitt “brick by brick” since taking over in 2018. The Panthers have gone 46-23 over the last two seasons.

    CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson men's basketball coach Brad Brownell received a new, five-year contract worth $20 million after leading the Tigers to the Elite Eight this past season. Brownell's deal was among several for Clemson head coaches and assistants by the university's board of trustees Thursday. Brownell's agreement keeps him through the 2028-29 season. He'll make $3.5 million next season, an increase over the $3 million he was scheduled to make under the old deal. Others with new agreements were men's soccer coach Mike Noonan, who won two of the past three NCAA College Cup titles and baseball coach Erik Bakich.

    CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Garrett Riley's offense eventually kicked in during his first season at Clemson, but far too late to make the Tigers championship contenders a year ago. Riley expected a faster, crisper start for his group in year two as Clemson looks to chase titles this fall. The Tigers had meltdowns and mistakes in starting 4-4 last season, the defending ACC champions falling out of the race before November. But Clemson finished with five straight victories to give the team momentum and focus heading into the offseason. Riley said players like quarterback Cade Klubnik and tailback Phil Mafah have improved.

    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Atlantic Coast Conference will collaborate with Apple to bring iPad technology to the sidelines and coaching booths for the upcoming season. In an announcement Monday, the ACC said all 17 football members will have access to league-provided iPad Pro and iPad Air models allowing them to view video playback. That comes after the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel in April approved the use of in-game video. The league has expanded schools to include new arrivals California, SMU and Stanford.
