Former Jayhawk Scot Pollard aims to be 'Survivor' in entertainment

LAWRENCE, Kansas -- Scot Pollard is coming to a small (and big) screen near you. The former Kansas Jayhawks star -- who also spent 11 seasons in the NBA with the Detroit Pistons, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics -- is one of 18 castaways competing on the 32nd season of “Survivor,” beginning Feb. 17 on CBS.

This season, "Survivor: Kaoh Rong," is a reboot of the Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty format. Although the colorful, 6-foot-11 Pollard might put himself in all three categories, he competed on Team Brawn when the show was taped last spring in Cambodia.
