KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Royals have signed outfielder Jarrod Dyson, right-hander Louis Coleman and catcher Tony Cruz to one-year contracts, avoiding arbitration.

Dyson received a raise from $1.225 million last year to $1.725 million this season. He’s in the mix to be one of the Royals’ primary outfielders, along with Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain.

Coleman will make $750,000, the same as last season, while Cruz agreed to a $975,000 deal. He was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals this offseason and made $775,000 last year.

All three can earn a $50,000 bonus for making the All-Star team.

The Royals have four remaining players eligible for arbitration: Cain, left-hander Danny Duffy, third baseman Mike Moustakas and catcher Drew Butera.

QUICK HITTERS

• Kansas State (11-5, 1-3 Big 12) concludes its brief 2-game homestand Saturday, as the Wildcats host No. 17/18 Iowa State (12-4, 1-3 Big 12) at 3 p.m.CT on ESPNU with Jason Benetti and Reid Gettys on the call.
• The two teams will renew a series that dates to 1909 for the 221st time on Saturday. The 137 wins by K-State are the most vs. one opponent, while it is the 3rd-most played series in school history. The series is tied 20-all in the Big 12 era with schools splitting the last 3 regular-season meetings. The Wildcats have won 4 of last 5 meetings at home, including 3 in a row.
• According to Paul Bessire of @predictmachine, K-State has the 4th-toughest remaining schedule in the nation, which includes 11 games vs. teams with RPIs of 40 or better.  Eight of the top 9 toughest slates belong to Big 12 teams, including 5th-place Iowa State.
• K-State is one of 10 schools to tally at least 11 wins vs. Top 25 teams the past 3 seasons, along with Iowa State (19), Kansas (19), Kentucky (15), Baylor (14), Duke (14), North Carolina (14), Wisconsin (14), Oklahoma (13) and Connecticut (11). The Wildcats are 0-4 vs. Top 25 this season.
• K-State has won 14 of its last 20 home games vs. ranked opponents, including 9 of the last 12, dating back to 2010. Overall, the Wildcats are 32-50 vs. Top 25 foes at Bramlage Coliseum, including 17-10 since 2008.
• K-State is 9-1 in home venues this season, including 8-1 at Bramlage Coliseum. The double-overtime loss to No. 19/17 West Virginia ended an 11-game homecourt winning streak, which dated back to last season.
• K-State snapped a 3-game losing streak and earned its first win of 2016 with an 83-70 victory over Texas Tech on Tuesday. The Wildcats posted 6 season-highs in the win, including field goals, FG percentage, 3-point field goals, 3-point FG percentage, points in the paint and fast-break points.
• Five players reached double figures for the third time (Columbia, Coppin State) vs. Texas Tech led by 17 apiece from Wesley Iwundu and Kamau Stokes. The Wildcats have had 5 different players lead the team in scoring, while 6 players had at least 5 double-digit scoring games this season.
• After starters dominated much of the scoring output in the early going, the bench has stepped up in the last 6 games, where they are averaging 28.3 points per game on 50.4 percent shooting (58-of-115), including 29.3 points per game in Big 12 play on 49.4 percent shooting (39-of-79). Much of this bench scoring has come from Barry Brown, who is averaging 14.7 points in the last 6 games, including 17.3 points in Big 12 play.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Kansas City offensive coordinator Doug Pederson has accepted the Philadelphia Eagles’ offer to become their coach, a person with knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the Eagles have not officially announced the hiring. Pederson can’t be officially hired as long as the Chiefs are in the playoffs. Kansas City plays at New England on Saturday.

Pederson started nine games at quarterback for the Eagles in 1999 and began his NFL coaching career as an assistant under Andy Reid in Philadelphia in 2009. Pederson followed Reid to Kansas City in 2013.

Philadelphia also interviewed Adam Gase, who was hired by Miami; Ben McAdoo, who was hired by the New York Giants; Tom Coughlin; and two of the Eagles’ assistant coaches during the 2015 season under Chip Kelly: Pat Shurmur and Duce Staley.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) – The Big 12 will be allowed to hold a football championship game in the future if it wants to under a rule change approved at the NCAA’s annual convention.

The change scraps the requirement that leagues have 12 members and play in two divisions in order to hold a title game. The new rule lets a smaller league play a title game pitting its top two teams, provided it plays a round-robin regular season schedule as the Big 12 does now.

The vote by the NCAA Division I Council passed 7-2 on Wednesday. The Atlantic Coast Conference and the American Athletic Conference voted against it and the Pac-12 didn’t vote.

The 10-member Big 12 is the only major conference that doesn’t play a football title game.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Admitting it found NCAA violations in its men’s basketball program dating to 2011, Missouri on Wednesday banned itself from the postseason this year and said it is vacating all 23 wins from the 2013-14 season.

The NCAA is still investigating and Missouri said it was working with the organization in hopes of limiting the punishment to its self-imposed sanctions.

Missouri was 23-12 in 2013-14, Frank Haith’s final season before leaving for Tulsa. The Tigers won just nine games last season under new coach Kim Anderson, who did not immediately comment on the findings.

Besides the postseason ban, the school has stripped itself of one scholarship this season and a second scholarship no later than the 2017-18 season, plus has restricted recruiting through 2016-17.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State fans have two opportunities next week to assist head coach Bruce Weber and the men’s basketball team raise money for Coaches vs. Cancer and the American Cancer Society.

 

Weber will hold his fourth annual Coaches vs. Cancer Challenge for all K-State students Tuesday, Jan. 19 from 5-7 p.m. at Bramlage Coliseum.

 

Weber will donate $1 to the American Cancer Society for every student who attends the event, while students will have one chance to make a free throw, a 3-point field goal and a half-court shot to benefit the charity. He will donate $10 for each made free throw, $25 for each made 3-pointer and $100 for each made half-court shot. If a student makes all three shots (free throw, 3-pointer and half-court shot), Weber will donate $1,000 to the charity.

 

In addition, K-State fans are asked to help stripe out Bramlage Coliseum Saturday, Jan. 23 as the Wildcats host Oklahoma State at 5 p.m. Fans are asked to wear either purple or white depending on their ticket location in Bramlage Coliseum. Fans in sections 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 and 26 are asked to wear purple, while those in sections 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27 are asked to wear white.
The official purple and white shirts for the event are only $15 with $5 from every shirt going to the American Cancer Society. These shirts are now on sale online at kstatesuperstore.com and can also be purchased at the K-State Super Store locations on McCall Road (M-F 9a-8p, Sun 12-5p) in Manhattan and at Bill Snyder Family Stadium (M-F 12-4p and during home games). They are also available during games on the Bramlage Coliseum concourse.

 

Fans can purchase tickets to the Oklahoma State game for as low as $18.75 with the Wildcat 4-Pack, while groups of 12 or more priced at $15 per person. These tickets can be purchased by calling the Athletics Ticket Office at (800) 221.CATS, online at www.kstatesports.com/tickets or in-person at Bramlage Coliseum.

 

Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), which empowers all sports coaches, their teams and their local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
