Rock Valley Upsets Cavaliers, Snaps Historic Win Streaks in Season Opener

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - The 2026-27 season opener did not unfold the way the Johnson County Community College men's basketball team had envisioned as visiting Rock Valley College handed the Cavaliers a 79-66 setback Saturday evening at the JCCC Gymnasium. The defeat snapped JCCC's program-record 42-game regular season winning streak and ended a 19-game home court winning streak, the second-longest in school history.

FORT WORTH, Texas — The Kansas football team held a 13-point lead midway through the third quarter on Saturday afternoon and looked poised to extend it to 20 when it had a first-and-goal from TCU’s 6-yard line.

Instead, the Jayhawks turned the ball over on downs, and the next time they got it back, Cole Ballard, starting in place of an injured Isaiah Marshall, threw an interception that was returned for TCU’s first score of the day. By the end of the third quarter, KU had...

Courtroom chaos hits college basketball as dozens play after judges block NCAA eligibility rules

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The college basketball season tipped off in earnest Monday with something never before seen in the century-plus history of the game: Dozens of players across the country suited up after winning court orders against the NCAA's new eligibility rules. The bizarre situation meant some teams had talented fifth-year players back, some of whom had played in the NBA's summer league, while others had to fill in gaps after players they were counting on were left in limbo by a loss in a courtroom. “I’m just a kid from Rochester, New York. Love the game of basketball,” said Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr., who along with Tre White and Trey Kaufman-Renn were cleared to play for the No. 17 Jayhawks against Fordham on Monday night. “I never thought I’d be going to court about the rest of my life." White, Council and Kaufman-Renn combined for 41 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists in their 95-65 win over the Rams . Most lawsuits have centered on the NCAA's new five-year eligibility model , which gives athletes five seasons to play in a five-year period, beginning when they turn 19 or graduate from high school, whichever is earlier.

Kansas City World Cup spending sets record, falls short of projection

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City’s World Cup set records but did not break them on every number, according to figures released by Visit KC. Visit KC says about 680,000 visitors came to the area for the tournament. That is 5% more than the original estimate of 650,000. Of that number, roughly 83% were domestic travelers and 17% were international tourists. The organization also says the tournament brought in about $570 million in direct spending. Visit KC calls it the biggest number the city has seen, but it is below the $653 million projection.

Could sports become to Kansas City what music is to Nashville? Survey says ...

If Kansas City needed reassurance of its performance as a FIFA World Cup host, it received it in the form of a survey that measured fan experience during the summer event. Some 5,300 were asked to track awareness, favorability and brand associations with Kansas City, and the results reinforced to KC2026 CEO Pam Kramer the region’s ability to outperform expectations. And Kansas City should continue to think big. “It’s not just that more people knew about us, but this narrative of a hidden gem — if we could get people here, if we could show who we are they would see what we know — really came through,” Kramer said. KC2026 commissioned Two Circles, an international sports and marketing business, and different groups of were surveyed five times between January and August. The survey covered area residents, fans from outside Kansas City and international fans from several countries that played or held base camps here: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Columbia, Ecuador, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Among the highlights: 88% of all attendees were either satisfied or very satisfied with the FIFA Fan Festival at the World War I Museum and Memorial. It peaked at 94% of Kansas City residents and stood
