The problem is, as of Thursday afternoon — just over 48 hours before KU vs. TCU — the Jayhawks haven’t signed a contract to play their games at Arrowhead.
Zeff says that
KCUR filed a Kansas Open Records Request the day after KU announced it would play its home games at the Chiefs’ venue. However, despite several attempts for updates on the situation, KU’s Custodian of Public Records has repeatedly told KCUR that it had “no determinative response to offer at this time.”
Then, on Wednesday, KU sent an email that said, “The University of Kansas does not have a final executed agreement” for the games at Arrowhead.
KU Athletics spokesperson Daniel Berk says there’s no reason to panic about Saturday’s game, however.
“It’s been six months of complex communications, but we fully expect to have an agreement,”
he told KCUR.
While the people in charge don’t seem too worried about the situation, they sure are cutting it awfully close, and now all we can do is hope this doesn’t become a game-time decision.
Kansas and TCU are scheduled for a 2:30 p.m. CT kick on ESPN+, with the Jayhawks being favored by two points.
