Fighting to stay in the top four in its own league is a rarity for a Bill Self-coached Kansas team. Self quite famously led the Jayhawks to 17 regular-season Big 12 Conference titles (one was vacated by October’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process ruling). Until Tuesday night, meanwhile, he had only lost 17 total games at Allen Fieldhouse. Then KU fell 76-68 to Big 12 newcomer BYU. After leading ...
Kansas coach Lance Leipold isn’t used to new faces in the middle of his offensive line. “If I told you I had two centers in nine years as a Division I coach…” he said Thursday. It’s true — in his first season at Buffalo after taking over from Jeff Quinn he inherited redshirt freshman James O’Hagan, who became a four-year starter and all-conference pick.

The Kansas baseball team is back from Texas after a lengthy trip to open the season, but the Jayhawks haven’t fully escaped the Lone Star State just yet. The Jayhawks' first home series of the year, a four-game stretch that begins at 3 p.m. Friday at Hoglund Ballpark, will be against Texas Southern, before they open Big 12 Conference play by hosting TCU next weekend.

KU Athletics has taken another significant step toward bringing that goal to fruition, announcing Wednesday that Leipold has agreed to a new contract. The contract has an average annual value of more than $7 million, increasing his salary from $5 ...
The Kansas football team's annual Spring Showcase will take place on April 12 at 7 p.m. at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence, KU announced Tuesday morning. The event, which is less a traditional spring game and more a practice with some scrimmage-like elements, will come near the conclusion of KU's spring practices. Last year's showcase served as the last of 15 practices that began on Feb. 28, 2023; this year's ...
