(SportsNetwork.com) - Connecticut has reportedly reached an agreement in principle with mens basketball coach Kevin Ollie on a contract extension that will pay him at least $3 million a year. The deal, which still needs to be finalized and signed, could be worth more than $15 million over five years, Yahoo Sports reported on Monday. The report comes six weeks after Ollie led Connecticut to its fourth national title in 16 years and amid swirling rumors he could make the jump to fill one of several vacant NBA head coaching positions. The Huskies are 52-18 in two seasons under Ollie, who took over in 2012 for Jim Calhoun after the Hall-of-Fame coach stepped aside because of health problems. They were the first No. 7 seed to win the NCAA Tournament, beating Kentucky in the national final in April a year after being banned from the 2013 postseason over academics. Ollie, a former Huskies captain, signed an extension of his original one-year deal in December 2012 that was to run through the 2017-18 season. Yahoo Sports reported the new deal will more than double his previous salary.

We are looking into it, league spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Monday. We do not have anything further to add at this point. The inquiry was first reported by the website for WTHR-TV in Indiana, citing an unnamed source. The Patriots have come under scrutiny with regards to NFL rules in the past, most infamously when they were punished for videotaping sideline signals used by the New York Jets during a 2007 game. Coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000, and the team was docked $250,000 and stripped of its 2008 first-round draft pick. According to the NFL rule book, home teams are responsible for furnishing playable balls at all time. Each team brings 12 primary balls, while home teams are required to also bring 12 backup balls. Once the referee makes sure the footballs are properly inflated, theyre delivered to ball attendants provided by the home team. The leagues game operations manual notes: If any individual alters the footballs, or if a non-approved ball is used in the game, the person responsible and, if appropriate, the head coach or other club personnel will be subject to discipline, including but not limiteed to, a fine of $25,000.dddddddddddd Deflating a football could change the way it would be gripped by a player or the way it travels through the air. The Patriots beat the Colts 45-7 to reach the Super Bowl. New England will play the defending champion Seattle Seahawks for the NFL title at Glendale, Arizona, on Feb. 1. In Sunday nights lopsided AFC finale, quarterback Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns and running back LeGarrette Blount gained 148 yards while scoring three touchdowns to send New England to its sixth Super Bowl in the past 14 years. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had his worst game as a pro, completing only 12 of 33 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. On his regular weekly morning-after-game appearance Monday on WEEI radio, Brady said he wasnt aware of the report about the leagues investigation into whether footballs were properly inflated against Indianapolis. I think Ive heard it all at this point, Brady said with a laugh. Thats the last of my worries, he said. I dont even respond to stuff like this. ___ AP Sports Writer Howard Ulman in Boston contributed to this report. ___ Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
