When it comes to conference play, Kansas State, Missouri and Kansas are on the bottom — KSU and KU in the Big 12, MU in the SEC. Maybe that changes this weekend as Wildcats, Tigers and Jayhawks play at home? All three are underdogs: Mizzou against Texas A&M (-9), Kansas State versus Iowa State (-6) and KU against Texas Tech (-16). But all have reason to feel positive about this weekend, too. We discuss the games with beat writers Kellis Robinett, Lila Bromberg and Jesse Newell on today's episode of our daily SportsBeat KC podcast.

The losing trends on the gridiron continue at Missouri, Kansas State and Kansas. Conference play hasn't been good for any of them. The Wildcats gave great effort in falling to Oklahoma. The same cannot be said for Mizzou against Tennessee and KU against Iowa State. College beat writers Lila Bromberg, Kellis Robinett, Jesse Newell and Gary Bedore break down the teams they cover —all three are 0-2 in conference play — as the midway point of the season approaches. With basketball around the corner, the Jayhawks held their annual Late Night scrimmage last week. We hear why the top performer of the night wasn't part of the action.

Kansas State, Missouri and Kansas went on the road last weekend seeking football victories. Each came away empty-handed. The Wildcats and Tigers return home Saturday, but the challenges only increase. The Wildcats take on sixth-ranked Oklahoma in search of a third straight victory over the Sooners. K-State's chances may rest on who starts at quarterback. Could Fort Osage product Skylar Thompson make his return? Kellis Robinett breaks down the matchup. Kansas, which visits Iowa State, has been solid in the first half of games but unable to close them out. Jesse Newell explains why, and Gary Bedore talks some KU hoops — including Late Night at the Phog, which takes place Friday. Lila Bromberg discusses what Missouri needs to do get back on the winning track against Tennessee. The Tigers dropped a heartbreaker in overtime at Boston College, and the defense remained leaky.

Major college football in Kansas is undefeated after one week. Kansas State was an impressive 24-7 winner over Stanford and Kansas won its first game since 2019 by defeating South Dakota 17-14.

A new era begins for Kansas Jayhawks football, and maybe it's time to see signs of progress. New coach Lance Leipold got a late start on the job when he was hired in April, and as of midday Wednesday he still hadn't named a starting quarterback for Friday's opener against South Dakota. But there is nowhere to go but up for a program that went winless in nine games last season and hasn't won more than three games in a season since 2009. KC Star beat writer Jesse Newell offers analysis on the Jayhawks, and after a break we'll hear directly from Leipold, who met with reporters earlier in the week.

The Kansas Jayhawks didn't add a new player to their basketball roster over the past week, they simply kept the ones who were eligible to return.

College sports stands at the doorstep of one of the biggest changes in its history. Soon, athletes will be able to cash in on their name, image and likeness. The roll out for this change is messy. The NCAA has wanted Congress to pass legislation. But states are taking the initiative and five that have passed laws could enter this new world on July 1. Recruiting is a big concern, if some states get the jump on the new rule. But eventually, at every school athletes will be able to earn money for endorsements, autograph sessions, camps and other sources that had not been available.
