A Kansas fan at Monday’s Williams Fund-sponsored Roundball Club luncheon at the Kansas City Downtown Marriott first praised Bill Self for helping raise about $2 million for hurricane relief by playing Missouri in an exhibition game Oct. 22 at the Sprint Center.
“Wonderful,” the fan said during a Q and A session with KU’s basketball coach, before quickly adding, “However, can you and Dr. Zenger (Sheahon Zenger, KU athletic director) promise you will never schedule Missouri again?”
That fan, who obviously was against the Jayhawks playing the Tigers — who left the Big 12 for the SEC in 2012 — apparently was not alone in his sentiments against the resumption of the Border War.
