Ben McCollum considered for Michigan and Kansas coaching roles
Summary

Dusty May's recent departure from Michigan creates potential job openings for Ben McCollum, currently coaching at Iowa. With Michigan seeking a new leader and Bill Self's future at Kansas uncertain, McCollum may have to choose between the two prominent programs. While Kansas holds historical significance, Michigan presents an opportunity within the Big Ten without necessitating a conference change. The decision could weigh heavily on McCollum's emotional ties to Iowa and the changing dynamics of both programs.
