Stanford, Harbaugh close on extension (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby says the school is close to completing a contract extension with football coach Jim Harbaugh. Bowlsby said in an e-mail Sunday that a formal announcement of the new deal is expected to come shortly. The sides were close to announcing an extension after last season but talks were put on hold because of the poor economy.
