The rest of the nonconference schedule will consist of guarder games, where the Athletics Department pays a team a certain fee to play a game at Allen Fieldhouse. Seating allow guarantee game usually cost about $60,000. Despite the prices, these games are more profitable because of the income generated with a home game. The competition tickets, concessions and
opponent, sort at a home game easily. Surpasses the money spent bringing in an opponent.
"We're great thing about Allen Hallhouse is that a lot of guys want to play here so it's not as hard as it might be for some schools to get teams to come and play," Keating said.
Kenting also said he spoke with ESPN throughout the process to determine which games ESPN was
interested in broadcasting. He said those plans would be finalized this spring.
Keating also works closely with Kansas coach Bill Self, running potential games by him before finalizing contracts.
"He's usually pretty cooperative and he trusts that I know what I'm doing." Keating said.
Last year, Chicago natives Sherron Collins and Julian Wright had a chance to play in front of friends and family when Kansas played at DePaul. Keating said he didn't intentionally schedule such homecoming games, but rather focused on playing in traditionally strong recruiting areas such as Chicago and California.
John Moeder, Wichita senior, wished the Jayhawks would make a trip to his hometown.
Wichita State," Moeder said. "They always want to play us, plus last year they made the 'K-who' shirts."
Keating said he worked to complete the nonconference schedule earlier than normal this year because he was frustrated with how long it took last year when he didn't finalize the last game until September, just a month before official practices began.
Others want games that will make national statements.

KYO — A moderate earthquake isolated central Japan on Sunday, injuring at least five people, damaging houses and a 400-year-old castle, police and officials said. The 5.4-magnitude quake hit at 12:19 p.m. local time and was centered in Mie prefecture, about 200 miles southwest of Tokyo, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

A woman and a man suffered minor head and shoulder injuries at a roadside restaurant in Kameyama city when part of a ceiling fell on them. Elsewhere in the Mie province, three people received minor leg and arm injuries, prefecural official Yoshihisa ito said.
The quake also caused part of a stone wall to collapse at the more than 400-year-old Kameyama Castle, but nobody was injured, according to local police. Several houses were partially damaged.
Sunday's temblor was not related to a pair of fairly powerful quakes Saturday — one near a remote island in the Pacific Ocean south of Tokyo and another one off the northeastern coast of Ibaraki, meteorological official Kazumitsu Yoshikawa said.
Authorities briefly suspended high-speed bullet trains and other train services and closed roads to perform safety checks, but transport services quickly resumed, Ito said.
