KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Congratulations continue to roll in for the Kansas Jayhawks, even from former coaches of their conference rival.

Former Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder took to social media Wednesday to congratulate them on winning the national championship.

Snyder’s 27-year coaching record was 215-117-1. He carried a 23-4 record facing the Jayhawks, and that includes losing three of his first four games against KU.

The Jayhawks defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels 72-69 in the NCAA Tournament title game Monday night in New Orleans, the team’s first national championship since 2008, and head coach Bill Self’s second national title with the school.
