Snyder will no longer be on KU football staff

Sean Snyder, who served as a special assistant to head football coach Lance Leipold, will no longer be on the Kansas coaching staff, a KU spokesperson confirmed Saturday.

KU can't complete rally, falls 79-75 at No. 23 Iowa State

Ames, Iowa — Kansas coach Bill Self had said before going to Ames that Iowa State’s ability to earn additional possessions with its defensive play, and turn those into extra points, made the Cyclones a formidable foe. At a series of pivotal moments in the second half Saturday, they did just that. After the Jayhawks tied the game in the opening moments after the break, ISU’s Tamin Lipsey hit a 3-pointer ...

Poor conference start has KU needing to win more difficult games down the stretch

Strengthened by experience, Kansas softball aims for postseason return

The Kansas softball team last made the NCAA Tournament in 2015. Since then, throughout a period spanning the entirety of head coach Jennifer McFalls’ tenure and more, the Jayhawks have been fighting to carve out their place in a conference featuring some of the sport’s most dominant teams. It was almost twice as long ago that KU had last won a Big 12 Conference tournament matchup, but McFalls’ Jayhawks ...
