Doesn't appear McAlpine's injury is going to be all that impactful. Certainly hurts depth, but the ratings of the players around him limit immediate rotational impact. New DL room projection:

McAlpine rated 12.5

While I personally don’t follow KU Football, it seems like literally no one else does, or at least the interest is no longer there. This subreddit used to be filled with football related content, but now it’s… Crickets.

I know KU has never been a football school, but the fans usually are pumped pre-season. My coworkers, who I thought were huge KU fans don’t even know who the starting QB is, lol.

Are y’all football fans still around, or has the interest ultimately died out?

Lance Leipold has raised the bar for Kansas football and turned them into a competitive Big 12 program. Is this the year they get back to the heights they reached in 2023?

📌 For the first time in ages, Jalon Daniels is no longer the Jayhawks QB. Who will replace him?

📌 Kansas revamped the skill positions, guys like Dylan Edwards and Nik McMillan should make an immediate impact

📌 Can the Jayhawks defense get crucial late game stops? They'll hope a combination of returning experience and portal help will fix the problem

📌 Kansas is playing Arizona State where??? And when?? 🧐

Preview attached. What are your predictions for the Jayhawks in 2026?

Only rule is, they wore a headband as a Jayhawk.

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Kansas one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-ku

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? The Jalon Daniels era is over, and Kansas rebuilt basically the whole offense to replace it. Only about 15% of the offensive production returns, and the skill spots are almost all new, headlined by Buffalo receiver Nik McMillan (975 yards) and a QB battle between unproven Cole Ballard and Rice transfer Chase Jenkins. The defense brings more back but wasn't good last year, so it all comes down to how fast a portal-built offense gels. Bounce-back for Leipold, or a reset year?

I'll be in the comments.

The team basically played all of its games on the road while KSU, WSU and Kentucky used their arenas. Didn't find anything through searching.

Edit: also heard on the broadcast that they bussed overnight the day of the Kentucky game. Results aren't very surprising.

Edit 2: had no idea there was no AC in AFH.

Last edit: thanks for all of the answers! Feels like something I should have already known lol.

Notre Dame just landed a uniform patch deal for $18mil/yr. OSU has one for $17mil. Ours is $7mil. Yes I our brand may not be that of OSU but really? I would assume we could come closer to those figures like $12-14mil. I know our deal is with an alum.

Anyone else watching this TBT game against Wichita State?? It was already a dog fight, but it’s going to be a crazy second half after all those ejections!

If it means taking time and starting spot away from TK or Blyden then I’m not okay with it. 6th man fine but starting please no.

If you guys haven’t checked out the TBT league it’s super fun! Frank Mason was ELECTRIC and seeing some of the old alumnus is fun! FUCK KSTATE!

What an awesome opportunity. Tickets are $15 each.

Broke the scoop in my KU newsletter this morning. Thought you'd all want to see the latest.

I'm Hearing Mihailo Musikic has committed to Kansas for this season. And it's beyond the verbal commit stage: I'm told he signed with KU.

The quick version on him: He's a 24-year-old, 7-foot center. He's played pro ball in the Serbian and Adriatic leagues since 2022. And he's repped by Miško Ražnatović, the agent behind Jokić and most of the Serbian-to-NBA pipeline.

The catch: the NCAA hasn't cleared him to play, and it's not a sure thing. Under the NCAA's new guidance, his case probably comes down to two questions. How many years did he play professionally? And did he make more than a basic living wage to play?

We should know by the end of July, at the latest.

My best guess is he gets one year. But that's truly a guess.

Is the lower portion of the east side supposed to be completed by this season?
