TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Despite a rare finish outside the top 20 in the Directors Cup standings, Florida State is pleased with gains the past three years under athletic director Stan Wilcox.The university announced Friday that Wilcox has been promoted to vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics as part of a contract extension that will expire June 30, 2020. Wilcoxs original contract was scheduled to expire in August 2018.Wilcox became Florida States athletic director in August 2013 from Duke, where he was the senior deputy director of athletics. In three years, the Seminoles have won national championships in football (2013) and womens soccer (2014).A major priority of Wilcoxs tenure has been improvements to most of the universitys athletic facilities. The most ambitious is a renovation of Doak Campbell Stadium set to be completed before the start of the season. The $50 million project adds the Champions Club to the south end zone along with a new scoreboard in the north end; new ribbon boards and a sound system; new restrooms in the concourse; and structural improvements to the bowl area.The stadium renovations are just the first phase. In an interview with The Associated Press, Wilcox said that plans to renovate the rest of the stadium are in the preliminary stages, but that those could run $200 to $400 million.You are always going to be in the facilities business along with recruiting, Wilcox said. Student-athletes are savvy consumers. When they go around and do their visits, they are seeing what everyone is doing. They want to see where they are going to play, practice, eat and live. That is why we have upgraded all of the locker rooms.After finishing out of the top 20 in the Directors Cup Division I standings -- a benchmark that entire athletic programs are judged by because it awards points based on each schools finish in up to 20 sports -- for the first time since 2005, Wilcox is optimistic that the program could possibly finish in the top 10 next year. The Seminoles were 21st this year after finishes of 11th (2014-15) and 12th (2013-14).Even though football did not reach the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game for the first time since 2011, the team played in a New Years Six bowl game. The Seminoles, who won the national championship in 2013 and reached the College Football Playoff the following year, are expected to be ranked in the top five in the preseason, and have a Heisman Trophy contender in running back Dalvin Cook.Mens basketball has not reached the NCAA Tournament since 2011, but will have another highly touted recruiting class coming in. Leonard Hamiltons recent success in recruiting was the driving force behind Wilcox giving him a contract extension in February.We have had top recruiting classes come in and that is momentum you dont want to stop. We didnt want there to be any doubt that he was going to be here, said Wilcox about the extension.Baseball came within one game of reaching the College World Series. Coach Mike Martin signed a one-year extension that takes him through 2018 and is two wins shy of becoming the second Division I baseball coach to reach 1,900.Wilcox wants Martin, 72, to stick around long enough to become the winningest coach in college baseball history. Martin needs 78 wins to pass Augie Garrido.When youre close to being the all-time winningest coach, how do you not come back? Hell be here as long as he wants to be, Wilcox said.It ended up being a strong year for most of the womens programs. Soccer reached the College Cup for the fifth straight year, softball advanced to the College World Series for the second time in three years, and basketball reached the Sweet 16, marking the first time that has happened two straight seasons. Beach volleyball, which was an NCAA-sanctioned sport for the first time, also reached the national championship match.Both golf teams and mens tennis qualified for the NCAA Tournament.We had a fairly decent year. Were still having success across the board more so than a few sports here and there, Wilcox said. Football, mens basketball and baseball were young teams that should be better next year. Im very happy where we are at. Arthur Zagre Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Gianluigi Buffon Paris Saint-Germain Jersey . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. http://www.parissaintgermainfcstore.com/ . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. Kevin Rimane Paris Saint-Germain Jersey .

The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts had 12 months to reflect on how Houston got its first win on its home turf -- and the AFC South title last season.They may have let it slip away again Sunday.After spending the past month fighting their way back into the division chase and a potential playoff spot, the Colts took a major step backward Sunday with a 22-17 loss to the Texans.Its hard to sort of digest big implications and I think as players, we dont, Andrew Luck said.We know we have to go out and take care of our business. Theres a little bit of hoping involved, but we still have to take care of business.The consequence of losing a mid-December game in this series is well-documented.Over the past four years, the winner has won the AFC South title. The loser, each of the past three years, didnt make the postseason.It could happen again.Houston and Tennessee are tied for the division lead at 7-6 but with a sweep over the Titans and the first season sweep of Indianapolis (6-7) in franchise history, the Texans have a clear path to defending their AFC South title.The Colts, meanwhile, must win and hope that the Texans, Titans and perhaps other teams stumble over the final three weeks of the season.While the prospects look daunting with their next two games at Minnesota and Oakland, coach Chuck Pagano insisted it wasnt over and urged his players not to lose faith.I dont have a crystal bball.dddddddddddd All we can do is, like we always do, get over this in a hurry, he said. There are so many things that can happen, we all see it. We all know it.What the loss did, though, is probably force the Colts into needing help to avoid missing the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1997 and 1998.And the growing injury list wont help, either.Indy started the game without linebacker Robert Mathis (biceps), safety Clayton Geathers (neck), cornerback Patrick Robinson (groin) and right guard Denzelle Good (concussion). Left guard Jack Mewhort (left knee) and receiver Donte Moncrief (hamstring) couldnt finish the game.Center Ryan Kelly also left the game briefly, leaving the Colts temporarily without three of their five offensive line starters until Kelly returned.So with three key games still on the schedule, Indianapolis has no choice but to play through the injuries and hope for the best -- or suffer the same fate they did after last seasons December loss to the Texans.We blew it, cornerback Darius Butler said. At home, having the game right there, but they outplayed us today. When it mattered most, critical situations, we just have to be better.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL . ' ' '
