Royals eye ‘authentically Kansas City’ concessions in deal with Delaware North

The Royals said that a reason Delaware North was picked to handle food and beverage operations at the team’s new downtown ballpark is that it “gives its general managers more leeway to adjust operations for their particular market,” according to Brian Kaberline of the K.C. BUSINESS JOURNAL. Royals President of Business Operations Cullen Maxey said it “happens to fit into a vision that we have going in, that we want to be authentically Kansas City.” The team had signed a series of extensions with current partner Aramark⁠ while settling on a site for the new ballpark. Maxey said that officials heard from Aramark as well as newer entrants in the field like Legends Global and Oak View Group. Maxey said that he views the concessions at the new ballpark “like a menu.” There will be “tried-and-true items, but also some flexibility to change, even season to season” (K.C. BUSINESS JOURNAL, 11/2).

Kansas basketball 2026-27 schedule prediction: Every KU game picked

LAWRENCE — Kansas basketball is coming into the season with the expectation of competing highly both in the Big 12 Conference, and nationally. Having coach Bill Self back to lead the Jayhawks certainly helps. So, too, does having a freshman guard in Tyran Stokes who is viewed as one of the top freshmen in the nation — someone who could be the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NBA Draft. And as long as fifth-year forward Trey Kaufman-Renn and senior guards Melvin Council Jr. and Tre White can remain eligible, conference success and a deep NCAA tournament run are each more than possible. The non-conference schedule will present its challenges, and the Big 12 slate won’t be any easier. There could be some growing pains through the early weeks of the season as the group continues to develop chemistry together. But there’s optimism about what’s possible in Lawrence this season, with a KU squad that’s entering tied for No. 18 in the top 25 of the preseason coaches poll. RELATED: What Duke basketball coach Jon Scheyer sees in Kansas’ Tyran Stokes With that, let’s take a look at some regular season schedule predictions for Kansas, which opens the 2026-27 campaign

Missouri suspends Jaylen Carey for basketball opener, SEC rules DePaul transfer CJ Gunn ineligible

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri will begin the basketball season without projected starter Jaylen Carey, who has been suspended for a violation of team rules, and DePaul transfer CJ Gunn, who has been ruled ineligible by the Southeastern Conference after signing a professional contract in May. Tigers coached Dennis Gates announced Carey's suspension Monday, the day before their opener against Cleveland State, while Gunn's ineligibility had been expected for a while after he played in the Canadian Elite Basketball League over the summer. Expectations are high this season for Missouri , which was the first team outside the AP Top 25 preseason poll . The Tigers brought in one of the nation's most heralded freshman classes, headlined by five-star prospects Toni Bryant and Jason Crow Jr., and surrounded it with a transfer class that includes Bryson Tiller of Kansas, Jamier Jones of Providence and Kennard Davis Jr. of BYU. Carey, a 6-foot-8 transfer from Tennessee, also is expected to be a key piece after averaging 7.4 points and 6.0 rebounds last season. Asked to elaborate on Carey's suspension, Gates replied: “Choose not to. I shared that one, and I usually don't share.” It's unclear whether Carey will be back

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.
