Big 12 schools will play a 10-game football schedule, but precisely when it starts and the one non-conference foe for each school remains uncertain. But these are uncertain times overall for the college sports landscape.

Beat writers Kellis Robinett (Kansas State) and Jesse Newell (Kansas) discuss where things stand in the Big 12 and at the Sunflower State schools.

After a break, the beat writers talk college basketball in Kansas City, specifically the best moments at Sprint Center for the Jayhawks and Wildcats. Thanks to a recent corporate merger, the building is now officially known as T-Mobile Center. Both programs had some great moments when the building was called Sprint.
