COLUMBIA, S.C. — Lamont Paris says he has agreed to a contract extension that's expected to include a hefty raise after a program turnaround in his second season with South Carolina. A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday that Paris' new deal is expected to be through 2029-30 and pay him more than $4 million a season.

The trustees have set a meeting for Friday with the only item on the agenda, "Approval of Athletics Employment Contract."
