If they do that, it’s anyone’s guess what the month of December might hold. Due to the new 12-team College Football Playoff format, a possible excess of bowl-eligible teams and a relatively low ...

Moore 'out indefinitely' due to ongoing pain in foot

Las Vegas — Kansas head coach Bill Self said prior to the start of Tuesday night's game against Duke that fifth-year guard Shakeel Moore is "going to be out indefinitely" due to ongoing pain in his foot.
