The state of Kansas is out and the Jayhawk is in at center court in Allen Fieldhouse.
After being absent from mid-court since the days of Larry Brown, the Jayhawk will return as the logo at center court.
with the logo at centerk, which will be nearly 20 feet tall, replaces the state of Kansas emblem with a block "K" that stood at midcourt since the beginning of the 1998-99 basketball campaign.
"I think having the Jayhawk at center court is a great idea," said Jason Plagman, Storm Lake, Iowa, senior. "The Jayhawk I'm sure is much more recognizable to someone watching

a basketball game on television than the outline of the state of Kansas."
The giant Jayhawk is part of a project to sand down and repaint the floor of James Naismith Court began earlier this month. Brad Nachtigal, KU
director of facilities and events, said the decision to do the project was made back in February.
An outside vendor sanded down the floor and painted it with two coats of sealer.
New athletics director Lew Perkins and the basketball staff chose between eight designs while the floor was being sanded down and sealed, Nachtigal said.
"It mainly came down to choosing between different color schemes," Nachtigal said.
The ongoing painting of the floor is being done by in-house designers D.W. Acker and Nate Hofer who came up with the different options for the floor design.
The actual floor has been in
place since the start of the 1992- 93 season. The hardwood playing surface has seen several changes at center court during the past 11 years.
A yellow state of Kansas emblem was in place before the block "K" replaced the yellow on the state outline in 1998.
That year the court was renamed James Naismith Court as part of the basketball program's 100-year celebration. The name James Naismith Court will remain painted on both baselines in the new design.
design.
The completion of the entire project is set for Sept. 2 and costs around $15,000. Nachtigal said.

CHESTERTOWN, Md. — Carlton Dotson appeared in court Tuesday for the first time since July 22, a day after he was arrested and charged with killing former Baylor teammate Patrick Denney near Waco, Texas.
As required by Maryland law, Kent County District Court Judge Floyd Parks held a 30-day status review of the fugitive warrant under which Dotson has been held at the Kent County Detention Center.

Prosecutors here filed a motion last week asking the count for permission to hold Dotson, 21, for
process.
"They should be done in another week or so." Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Flanagan told the judge Tuesday.
Parks granted the motion, to
which defense attorneys did not object, but he warned Flanagan that Dotson could not be held for more than 90 days. "Ninety days is it." Parks said.
Defense attorneys reiterated that they had not waived extradition, but they said little else.
Dennehy's body was found in a
field near Waco on July 25, four days after Dotson was charged with murder. An autopsy report showed that he died of two gunshot wounds to the head.
Dennehy's disappearance in mid-June, and the naming of Dotson as a "person of interest" in the case, prompted intense scrutiny of
Baylor and no basketball coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton resigned Aug. 8. School investigators said they discovered that Bliss was involved in two players receiving improper financial aid, and that staff members did not properly report failed drug tests.
