Kansas and Missouri are reportedly working on putting together a football series.
According to Gabe DeArmond, Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk emailed donors that a four game series with the Jayhawks is being set up. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The Jayhawks and Tigers have one of the most historic rivalries in all of sports, but it’s fallen off ever since Missouri moved to the SEC. It looks like Sterk and Kansas trying to get the fire going again.
#Mizzou AD Jim Sterk told donors in an email this morning that a four-game football series with Kansas “is being contracted as of this writing.” Look for series to be finalized soon.

While I don’t care about either of these programs, I do love rivalries, especially in college sports. College athletics are all about traditions and rivalries.
Missouri and Kansas have one of the greatest rivalries in the history college sports. Like I said above, it dropped off when Missouri switched conferences.

There’s no question fans would get up and get excited for a Tigers/Jayhawks series. It wouldn’t take any convincing at all for people to get pumped.
For the sake of college football, I hope it happens. Right now, we need as much good news as we can get.

Reigniting one of the oldest rivalries in all of sports would do more than enough to get the job done. Let’s hope it happens for fans in Kansas and Missouri and lovers of football everywhere.
