Kansas is facing potential trouble with its men’s basketball program, and the Jayhawks’ football team just completed a decade of futility. But generally speaking, KU fans feel good about their teams and coaches, according to a survey conducted by The Star.

In this episode of our daily Kansas City sports podcast, beat writer Jesse Newell breaks down the findings and survey process itself with SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff, including what fans think of basketball coach Bill Self, football coach Les Miles and athletic director Jeff Long. Newell and Kerkhoff also talk about KU fans’ feelings about possible NCAA punishment and attending sporting events during the pandemic.
