NCAA corruption scandal spreads

-

Kansas and North Carolina State are the latest schools to be swept up in a bribery scandal involving college basketball.

A rewritten federal indictment released Tuesday in New York alleges that an Adidas official paid parents of athletes willing to commit to the schools. Prosecutor­s say an Adidas representa­tive agreed to pay $90,000 to the family of a Kansas recruit and $40,000 to a recruit at North Carolina State.

Prosecutor­s say money helped secure the players’ commitment­s to play college basketball at the schools and ensured the North Carolina State recruit signed an Adidas sponsorshi­p deal when he entered the NBA. He entered the draft in June.

Mike Brey, the winningest head coach in Notre Dame men’s basketball history, has signed a contract extension through the 2024-25 season.

Miami Hurricanes head coach Jim Larranaga has agreed to a two-year contract extension through the 2023-24 season.

College baseball: Brendan Beck struck out six in six shutout innings as No. 3 Stanford (24-5) beat UC Davis 7-2 at Sunken Diamond. Kyle Stowers was 2-for-4 with his sixth homer of the year, as well as a shutout ninth on the mound.

Cal (19-11) rallied with five runs over its final three innings to beat USF 8-7 in Berkeley. Andrew Vaughan hit his 15th homer, and four other Bears also went yard. Ross Puskarich was 4-for-5 with five RBIs and a homer for the Dons (20-13).

Motor sports: Monster Energy will remain the title sponsor of NASCAR’s top Cup Series through 2019 in an extension announced.

Monster is not expected to be back after next year as NASCAR will re-evaluate how it sells its sponsorshi­p. The Monster contract with NASCAR is estimated to be worth $20 million annually.

The energy-drink company signed a two-year deal in late 2016. The initial contract was an success for Monster, which saw Kurt Busch drive a car sponsored by Monster Energy to victory in the Daytona 500.
