Examining the situation facing KU quarterback Jake Heaps | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
If the writing on the wall (or the depth chart) shows that playing time could be tough to come by, some guys look around for better opportunities and other places to play. That seems to be what Heaps is doing now and is the same thing he did when he left BYU to come to Kansas a couple of years ago. It doesn't mean he wasn't good enough to play at BYU or that he's not good enough to play here, just that the situation has changed to give others in front of him the first shot.
Healing KU ace Benjamin faces uncertain future | KUsports.com
Benjamin, drafted in the 48th round of the 2011 MLB Draft out of high school by the New York Yankees, was KU’s top pro prospect this year. That hasn’t changed. Before the season began, Baseball America ranked him as the No. 12 future pro in the Big 12.

Not matter of if, but when College Football Playoff will expand - ESPN
How soon can we expect such growth to occur? The first time Alabama gets left out of the field? Or when a politician from Idaho or Utah steps in front of Congress and complains about Boise State or BYU or some other team from a non-power conference being unfairly left out of the four-team field? A few coaches, like Notre Dame's Brian Kelly and Stanford's David Shaw, believe a four-team playoff is only the starting point.
What would it take for Fred Hoiberg to leave Iowa State Cyclones? - ESPN
What would it take? There’s an NBA job out there for Hoiberg. It just doesn’t seem like it’s something he’s pursuing at this point in his career. The rumors have circulated for years. He was even recently linked to a Chicago Bulls job that isn’t even open.

Chiefs sign first-round pick Dee Ford - CBSSports.com
When the Kansas City Chiefs kicked off rookie minicamp on Saturday, they did it with all six of their draft picks officially under contract. First-round pick Dee Ford, the last unsigned member of the Chiefs' 2014 class, signed on Saturday, the team announced.
Landon Donovan made his first public comments since sensationally being left off the U.S. men’s national team’s World Cup roster, talking to reporters at StubHub Center in California as he prepares to return to action with the LA Galaxy on Sunday night, and, as has been his style, he did not hold back from expressing his true feelings.
Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays - Recap - May 24, 2014 - ESPN
Boston scored five runs in the first inning but still lost its ninth in a row for the first time since Aug. 25-Sept. 4, 2001. (Ed. Note - I love it when the Red Sox or Yankees struggle. It feels good.)

Should executions in the U.S. again be public? - KansasCity.com
Some on both sides of the death penalty debate believe it’s time to consider making it a reality — the ultimate reality TV show. (Ed. Note: Seems like even talking about it brings us one step closer to real shows called "The Running Man" or "The Hunger Games...)
Of the many hundreds of reasons to visit the National World War I Museum, the best might be the Renault FT17, with its mortal wound. Now that the centennial of the beginning of the war is about to roll over us, it’s time to take a closer look. (Ed. Note: The WWI Museum is definitely very cool, most especially for history buffs but even for the casual non-buff. Check it out sometime.)

Gasoline prices have familiar look as summer nears | Wichita Eagle
