ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach John Beileins new contract will keep him with the Wolverines through the 2018-19 season. Whether retirement awaits after that, he isnt ready to say. The 60-year-old coach will make $2.45 million in annual compensation under the new deal. The three-year extension replaced his previous contract, which was to end after the 2015-16. His first contract, which paid $1.3 million plus incentives, made him the highest paid basketball coach in school history. And now he is set through the 2018-19 season. "At least," he said Tuesday. "When I first got here, I at least wanted to coach that contract. Who knows right now where that all goes, but I love the faith the university has in me to at least redo my contract to that extension." He said there was no sense of urgency to get a deal done, but added it felt good knowing he could make incoming high school juniors a promise hed be there if they signed with Michigan. "It would be good to get it as we began recruiting," he said. "My plan was to coach at least six more years and put that so the 2015 class knew." The Wolverines fell to Louisville in the NCAA title game, the schools first trip there since the early 1990s. Beilein said the cache that comes with reaching the final game of the season only has helped on the recruiting trail. He remembered one of his earliest recruits here asking him if Michigan ever was any good in basketball. "When we ask them if they watched the championship game they say, Of course," he said. "When we ask them if theyre interested in Michigan, they say, Of course. Thats very positive." Beilein has guided the Wolverines to four NCAA Tournament appearances and the team shared its first Big Ten title last year for the first time since 1986. Guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., key players in the championship-game run, left early and were taken in the first round of the NBA draft. Sophomore forwards Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III will be the likely nucleus of the coming seasons team. Michigan hired Beilein in 2007 after he led West Virginia to an NIT title. Hes also had stops at Richmond, Canisius, LeMoyne, Nazareth and Erie (N.Y.) Community College. His career record as a head coach is 673-403. The new contract is a far cry from his first college paycheque. Erie paid him $12,000 a year when became its head coach in 1978.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke is breaking in a new quarterback. The Blue Devils offense still should look familiar.Redshirt freshman Daniel Jones makes his debut with the Blue Devils on Saturday night when they open the season against crosstown opponent North Carolina Central.Jones is the first freshman quarterback to start an opener at Duke since 1997, and just the fourth since 1951.Its a misnomer to think you have to be the guy in charge or win the game at quarterback, coach David Cutcliffe said. You dont. You just have to be more committed to your job than anyone else, first. Thats the role a quarterback leader has to take. Hes assuming that role rather easily.Jones took most of the first-team snaps during preseason camp while Thomas Sirk -- Dukes leading rusher and passer in 2015 -- worked his way back after tearing an Achilles tendon in a conditioning workout in February.Sirk reinjured the tendon during practice last week, finally giving the Blue Devils an answer -- though not the one they wanted -- to the will-he-or-wont-he question.Dukes hopes for a fifth straight bowl game rest with Jones, a redshirt freshman from Charlotte and a late addition to their 2015 recruiting class who has some of the same run-or-pass skills that Sirk has.Its the same system, so everyone in the quarterback room can do both, Jones said. Thats part of what (the coaches) want here, someone who has the ability to do both.The goal is to get him comfortable playing at this level against an opponent the Blue Devils historically have had no trouble beating: Duke has won all four meetings, all since 2009, by no fewer than 35 points apiece.N.C. Central won its last seven games of last season and claimed a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the second straight year, but missed out on reaching the CCelebration Bowl -- the new postseason game that matches the champions of the two highest-profile HBCU conferences.ddddddddddddSome of these guys played with some of those young men (at Duke) over the course of their career, Central coach Jerry Mack said.

Central-Duke opener:- HAPPY RETURNS: Duke S DeVon Edwards enters his senior season with six career kickoff returns for touchdowns, one shy of the ACC and NCAA record. He probably wont get many chances this week because North Carolina Central might not kick off very often -- Duke has shut out the Eagles in both of their last two meetings.- THE OPENER: Duke has won four straight openers and is trying for five in a row for the first time since 1984-88. The Blue Devils have won the last four -- against Florida International, North Carolina Central, Elon and Tulane -- by a combined 180-46. Theyre 6-2 in openers under Cutcliffe.- UNFAZED EAGLES: N.C. Central probably wont be awestruck by facing the Blue Devils, since so many of the Eagles players took part in last years matchup. The year before, North Carolina Central opened at East Carolina. You have to grow up really fast, said Central QB Malcolm Bell, whose first career game came at Duke in 2013. They threw me in the fire. I just had to get adjusted quick, and after that, I was pretty good.- NEW DIGS: The game also marks the debut of the latest set of improvements to Wallace Wade Stadium, with a five-story, 90,000-square-foot tower of luxury suites the centerpiece of the project.
