Show Notes

The 2020 college football was supposed to start this weekend with a handful of games followed by the traditional full slate of games over Labor Day weekend. There won’t be a grand opening for the sport this season. But a staggered beginning with Big 12, ACC and other conferences starting Sept. 12 and SEC schools on Sept. 26.

But every day there’s more news about COVID-19 on campus that makes you think a bubble is the best solution to get in a season. But teams are practicing and planning for openers. On today’s SportsBeat KC, the Kansas City Star’s daily sports podcast, Kansas beat writer Jesse Newell talks college sports and the questions facing the Jayhawks this season.

Can Kansas match last year’s victory total of three games, even with two fewer games on the schedule? What’s the quarterback situation and who could emerge on defense? We even get into a little basketball. Because, Kansas.
