COLUMBIA, S.C. — Clemson coach Oliver Purnell has agreed to a two-year contract extension that will keep him with the Tigers through 2016.

Purnell’s base salary will be $275,000 per year and his supplemental income $1.075 million per year.

The former University of Dayton coach has gradually turned Clemson into one of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s top programs, improving the team’s winning percentage each of the last five years.

The Tigers have won 72 games the past three seasons, trailing only Duke and North Carolina in the ACC.
