It was reported Wednesday evening that Michigan offered San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh a 6-year $49 million contract that would surpass Nick Saban's contract to be the highest-paid in all of college football.

How will the US's new-found relationship with Cuba impact baseball on both the national and collegiate level? How could Beesball be impacted? Who will be the next Michigan head coach?
