KU men's basketball boot camp gets underway

The Kansas men's basketball team is back in the gym for the infamous "boot camp," the grueling two-week conditioning program that has characterized Septembers past during Bill Self's tenure as head coach.

Notebook: KU-Nevada pairing came together under odd circumstances

Reno, Nev. — The Kansas football team won’t play its Big 12 Conference opener until next weekend, but had the league’s expansion timeline unfolded a little differently, KU could have been taking on a familiar foe this week.

Granted, even as KU settled for a pair of field goals following a 28-7 halftime lead, then gave up two Illini touchdowns to set the final score at 34-23, head coach Lance Leipold never felt his team loosen its grip last ...

KU soccer rallies for road draw at Oklahoma

After going down two goals to Oklahoma in a dire first half to open Big 12 Conference play, the Kansas soccer team converted its only two shots on target in the second period.
