KU earns No. 2 seed in NCAA baseball regionals. Here's Jayhawks' game site & foe
Kansas baseball coach Dan Fitzgerald met with reporters on Monday, May 26, 2025 after the Jayhawks were accorded a No. 2 seed in the NCAA regionals. The Kansas Jayhawks baseball team is headed to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2014. Third-year coach Dan Fitzgerald's KU team finished as runner-up to West Virginia during the Big 12 regular season and lost in the semifinals of the conference's postseason tournament. On Monday the Jayhawks were assigned to a four-team regional in Arkansas as a No. 2 seed among the national field of 64. Advertisement KU will meet No. 3 seed Creighton (41-14) in a first-round regional contest at 7 p.m. Friday at Baum-Walker Field in Fayetteville, Ark. The other two teams in the double-elimination regional event are No. 1 seed Arkansas and North Dakota State. The Bison went 20-32 this season, winning the Summit League title. The Razorbacks (43-13) finished second in the SEC behind Texas. They're rated fifth in the latest Division I baseball rankings and hold the same spot in RPI. Creighton's Bluejays (41-14) are coming off a Big East tournament championship and have won seven games in a row. KU is ranked No. 25 nationally and No. 24 in the RPI. Advertisement Each regional will include four teams playing in a double-elimination format. The regionals will start Friday and Saturday and run through Monday, June 2, with the winners meeting in best-of-three NCAA Super Regionals the following week. Selection of the eight super regional hosts will be announced June 3. 'This is really special,' Fitzgerald said. 'To see the joy they (players) are having and for it to mean so much ... To be a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament in year three and lead the Big 12 in wins, if someone told me that I would have taken it all day long and more. 'We have an awesome group of human beings in this program that care so much. We'll have a good practice today. They're ready.' Advertisement The coach had no complaints about where KU was sent and the opposition in the Fayetteville regional. 'You look through this tournament,' Fitzgerald said, 'and this is true of the NCAA tournament: There's never a regional where you're like, 'Oh, man, that's an easy one for so-and-so.' They're all tough.' Of KU's first-round foe, he said: 'Creighton has a really good team and is playing really good baseball.'

Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce's Names Engraved Forever After Costly Decision
Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce's Names Engraved Forever After Costly Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, retired NFL center, both played their college football at the University of Cincinnati. Advertisement Despite where they are now, the University of Cincinnati remains a special place in their hearts and always has been. In 2024, they went back to campus to film an episode of their podcast. The event was called "New Heights Live: We Gotta Talk About It." As a way to give back to the school, the brothers donated a portion of their gross ticket sales to the official NIL collective of Cincinnati Athletics. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce swaps jerseys with his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, after a game at Arrowhead Biggerstaff-Imagn Images On Wednesday, the university held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Sheakley Indoor Practice Facility and Athletics Performance Center. The steps leading into the facility read both of the Kelce brothers' names. Advertisement The school wanted to honor its donors, and while there are rumors that getting a name on those steps requires a donation of $250,000 to $500,000, it's unclear how much they actually gave. It's worth noting, though, that Travis's Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation made a "substantial contribution" to the university back in 2022. Jason, who is two years older, joined the Cincinnati football team in 2006 and played three seasons after redshirting his freshman year. He was a two-time All-Big East Second Team selection in 2009 and 2010. Travis followed in 2008, also redshirting his first year before playing three seasons for the Bearcats. He missed the 2010 season due to a suspension for violating team rules but went on to earn First Team All-Big East honors in 2012.
