Jayhawks at bottom of preseason poll
Kansas ranked 10th in the Big 12 preseason media poll that came out July 19.
Head coach Charlie Weis gave no comment, but has said in the past that he is well-aware of the program's problems he's coming into.
Oklahoma ranked first as it did in the 2011 poll, and was followed by one of the Big 12's newest members, West Virginia. Kansas State was ranked sixth, moving up two spots since last year's eighth place rank. In last season's poll, Kansas also ranked 10th.

Sporting KC holds New England to scoreless draw
SOCCER
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen made four saves for his league-leading ninth shutout of the season in a scoreless draw with the New England Revolution on July 21.
Sporting (11-6-4) moved one
point behind first-place New York in the Eastern Conference. Nielsen's shutout moved him one ahead of Vancouver's Joe Cannon.
Matt Reis earned his fourth shutout for New England (6-9-5), which is just 1-7-2 on the road.
Each goalie had to make a spectacular save to preserve the draw.
Nielsen punched out Ryan Guy's header in the 15th minute,
and Reis made a diving fingertip save to deflect Jacob Peterson's header in the 52nd.
Reis spent several minutes on the field late in stoppage time after colliding in the air with Sporting forward Kei Kamara, but was able to finish out the match.
