SportsBeat KC: Latest on Mizzou’s search, K-State’s bowl, KU’s football conclusion

It’s a college sports Friday on SportsBeat KC, and The Star’s college beat writers weigh in with the latest from Missouri, Kansas State and Kansas.

Souichi Terada provides the update on Mizzou’s football coaching search. There are names. Is an announcement near? The Wildcats know they’re going bowling. But where? Kellis Robinett runs down the possibilities. Les Miles completed his first year as KU football coach, and the Jayhawks finished with the same record as last season. But is there a different feel as Kansas enters the offseason? Jesse Newell discusses with host Blair Kerkhoff.
