University of Kansas Baseball Wolverines Blank No. 22 Kansas in Regular-Season Finale, 4-0
Sunday's loss at Michigan (28-27-1, 13-11 Big Ten) mainly resulted from an offense that failed to get a baserunner past second base, as the Jayhawks posted just four singles on the day, three of which were infield hits.
Kansas baseball falls, 4-0 | KUsports.com
“I think it was an important two-game series,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “Obviously, we didn’t swing the bats very well either day. The greatest thing that has happened here is we got a chance to play two days. We picked up a ‘W’ yesterday. I’m disappointed in the outcome of the game today, but from a bigger-picture standpoint, this sets us up for what’s most important — being prepared to play Wednesday of next week.”

The Jayhawk women ended the competition at fourth place in the team standings after amassing 100.5 points, while the Jayhawk men tallied a seventh-place finish with their 67-point total.

West Virginia adds FCS All-American transfer at DE - CBSSports.com
The Mountaineers announced Friday that FCS All-American defensive end Shaquille Riddick will transfer to West Virginia for the 2014 season. Riddick's 19 tackles-for-loss in his 2013 junior season for Gardner-Webb placed him second in the FCS, his 8.5 sacks good for 19th. He is currently the No. 12-ranked defensive end in the 2015 draft class, according to NFLDraftScout.com.
Administrators from, and fans of, the leagues that require nine conference games are worried that the ACC and SEC schools will load up on patsies to artificially inflate their records. Those teams will play FCS opponents, a practice the Big Ten has banned. Fans and administrators worry that the selection committee will simply follow the loss column -- a legitimate concern considering the polling process that placed teams in the BCS title game the past 16 seasons -- and won't critically examine the schedules each team played to reach its respective record.
No conference got burned by its championship game more than the Big 12 when the league was accurately named -- but Big 12 leaders would also appreciate the flexibility. Before the debate over potential changes begins, someone should probably explain why the rule exists and why it requires 12 teams and two divisions. The reasoning and research behind the requirements should be examined to determine whether they still apply today.
