SMU is expected to give new head coach Tim Jankovich a contract of at least five years in length with a salary that would put him in the top tier of the American Athletic Conference, once negotiations are complete, according to a source.Jankovich wouldnt comment on the negotiations on Tuesday. But he did discuss Larry Browns abrupt decision on Friday to step down as the Mustangs head coach after four seasons in Dallas.I didnt know in advance, Jankovich said Tuesday night of Browns decision.SMU athletic director Rick Hart said Friday that the school had offered Brown a contract to coach until 2020, but Brown chose instead to resign. Jankovich said Brown told him by phone that he was resigning. Jankovich didnt want to discuss Browns contract issues with the school.Jankovich said he never discussed with Brown the timing of succeeding him. But he said it was predetermined that he would be the successor when he left his head-coaching job at Illinois State to join Brown four years ago.Jankovich said it wasnt a handshake deal or he would never have left what he said was a top-25 team with the Redbirds. He said there was an agreement in place that he would receive a contract to replace Brown when he left.Jankovich had been the head coach at Illinois State from 2007-12. He was also a head coach at North Texas from 1993-97.Jankovich said the timing of Browns departure wasnt ideal. Summer recruiting began last week. SMU is also coming off an NCAA postseason ban in 2016 (violations included academic fraud and unethical conduct) after winning the regular-season and conference tournament titles in 2015.The Mustangs, Jankovich said, would have 11 players on scholarship for the 2016-17 season, and likely 11 in 2017-18, as sanctions continue for the next two years. The Mustangs had to lose nine scholarships over three years, but since they used only 11 of 13 in the year of the sanctions, the actual reduction of scholarships was seven over the next three seasons.We suffered some big losses, but I still think we will be in competition for the top of the AAC, said Jankovich of losing Nic Moore (whom he brought with him from Illinois State), Markus Kennedy and Jordan Tolbert. We wont be big on numbers, but we still have opportunities for good things this upcoming year.Jankovich said the decision to leave Illinois State was still one of the toughest he had to make. But he said he believed in SMU and was convinced the program could be a national power.I believed in Coach Brown, said Jankovich. It played out. This is what I thought would happen.Jankovich wasnt referring to the NCAA violations that led to a postseason ban and a nine-game suspension for Brown last season -- Jankovich coached the team to a 9-0 record during that time -- under the coachs control penalty. Instead, he was referencing the Mustangs 94-39 record over the past four years, the revival of Moody Coliseum and putting SMU basketball back on the national map.Jankovich said the Mustangs could have played in three NCAA tournaments, instead of just one. SMU was considered one of the final snubs in year two of the Brown-Jankovich tenure and would have likely been an NCAA tournament team in year four had it not been for a postseason ban. SMU went to the NCAA tournament in year three.Im at a program that is competing at the highest level, said Jankovich. I left a team that was going to be in the top 25. I know it was. But I love Dallas. I love SMU. I always thought it would be a sleeping giant. But its not sleeping anymore.

PAUL, Minn. SEPANG, Malaysia -- The FIA has clarified rules surrounding yellow flags in practice and qualifying, ruling that drivers must abandon a quick lap if they come across double-waved yellows.The issue has its roots in Nico Rosbergs pole position lap at the Hungarian Grand Prix where he set his fastest time despite coming across yellow flags. Following that incident, the FIA said it would red flag qualifying sessions rather than show double-waved yellows, but in Singapore that was not the case when Romain Grosjean spun off at the end of Q2. Unlike Rosberg, Sergio Perez was penalised for setting his fastest time under double-waved despite being able to prove he backed off completely.To offer clarity over what will be allowed in this weekend, the FIA updated its position in the Malaysian Grand Prix event notes with the following rulings.Double waved: Any driver passing through a double waved yellow marshalling sector must reduce speed significantly and be prepared to change direction or stop. In order for the stewards to be satisfied that any such driver has complied with these requirements it must be clear that he has not attempted to set a meaningful llap time, for practical purposes this means the driver should abandon the lap (this does not necessarily mean he has to pit as the track could well be clear the following lap).ddddddddddddPerez was also penalised in Singapore for overtaking Esteban Gutierrez under single-waved yellows for Jenson Buttons damaged McLaren. The FIA have also issued a clarification on single-waved yellows to make it clear that passing is only permitted if the other car has obvious damage.Single waved : Drivers should reduce their speed and be prepared to change direction. It must be clear that a driver has reduced speed and, in order for this to be clear, a driver would be expected to have braked earlier and/or discernibly reduced speed in the relevant marshalling sector. Drivers should not overtake any car in a single waved yellow marshalling sector unless it is clear that a car is slowing with a completely obvious problem, e.g. obvious accident damage or a deflated tyreThe rules will be in place for Saturdays qualifying session at Sepang. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
