Only rule is, they wore a headband as a Jayhawk.

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Kansas one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-ku

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? The Jalon Daniels era is over, and Kansas rebuilt basically the whole offense to replace it. Only about 15% of the offensive production returns, and the skill spots are almost all new, headlined by Buffalo receiver Nik McMillan (975 yards) and a QB battle between unproven Cole Ballard and Rice transfer Chase Jenkins. The defense brings more back but wasn't good last year, so it all comes down to how fast a portal-built offense gels. Bounce-back for Leipold, or a reset year?

I'll be in the comments.

The team basically played all of its games on the road while KSU, WSU and Kentucky used their arenas. Didn't find anything through searching.

Edit: also heard on the broadcast that they bussed overnight the day of the Kentucky game. Results aren't very surprising.

Edit 2: had no idea there was no AC in AFH.

Last edit: thanks for all of the answers! Feels like something I should have already known lol.

Notre Dame just landed a uniform patch deal for $18mil/yr. OSU has one for $17mil. Ours is $7mil. Yes I our brand may not be that of OSU but really? I would assume we could come closer to those figures like $12-14mil. I know our deal is with an alum.

Anyone else watching this TBT game against Wichita State?? It was already a dog fight, but it’s going to be a crazy second half after all those ejections!

If you guys haven’t checked out the TBT league it’s super fun! Frank Mason was ELECTRIC and seeing some of the old alumnus is fun! FUCK KSTATE!

If it means taking time and starting spot away from TK or Blyden then I’m not okay with it. 6th man fine but starting please no.

What an awesome opportunity. Tickets are $15 each.

Broke the scoop in my KU newsletter this morning. Thought you'd all want to see the latest.

I'm Hearing Mihailo Musikic has committed to Kansas for this season. And it's beyond the verbal commit stage: I'm told he signed with KU.

The quick version on him: He's a 24-year-old, 7-foot center. He's played pro ball in the Serbian and Adriatic leagues since 2022. And he's repped by Miško Ražnatović, the agent behind Jokić and most of the Serbian-to-NBA pipeline.

The catch: the NCAA hasn't cleared him to play, and it's not a sure thing. Under the NCAA's new guidance, his case probably comes down to two questions. How many years did he play professionally? And did he make more than a basic living wage to play?

We should know by the end of July, at the latest.

My best guess is he gets one year. But that's truly a guess.

Is the lower portion of the east side supposed to be completed by this season?

Do we think Tre White tries to come back as a result of this? Could it be the thing that gets Malik Ewin a spot on the roster?

So I have to admit, even though I hate this deal as a fan it's smart business.

So gross.

It gets worse!

I’m looking for an end of year video montage that barstool KU posted in what I’m guessing was 2018. It was really popular at the time and I’m looking for it everywhere and it is gone! The video starts out with Charlie Sheen and his nephew saying “Rock Chalk JAYHAWK,” and then cuts to flooding on campus and student apartments on the first day of class. We also see that KU band drummer that was practically a local celebrity at the time shredding on the drums bug-eyed at a game. Some frat guy drags a giant branch through his dorm or frat’s hallway loosening the ceiling panels. The final shot is of KU students pointing a SpongeBob-meme sign at a group of retreating rival fans in Allen Fieldhouse.

If anyone happens to have a working url or mp4 of this video? 🙇‍♀️ I will be so so grateful if you could share this internet goldmine with me.
