UNDATED (AP) — The Big 12 had never had such turnover in head football coaches until this spring. Four of the 10 Big 12 teams went through spring drills with new coaches. There are two new coaches in the Sunflower State, with Les Miles at Kansas and Chris Klieman at Kansas State. Both have won national titles, though at different levels. Matt Wells has taken over at Texas Tech and Neal Brown is now West Virginia's coach.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas and Adidas have extended their contract through 2031, despite an FBI investigation centered on the footwear and apparel company that cast a negative light on the Jayhawks' athletic programs. The Jayhawks have worn Adidas gear since 2005.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has adjusted the targeting rule in college football. Video review officials are now allowed to overturn a targeting call if any element of the penalty cannot be confirmed. The adjustment means there will be no option for letting the call on the field stand during a review. The overtime format also was changed. Once a game reaches a fifth overtime, teams will run alternating 2-point plays instead of starting another drive at the opponent's 25-yard line.
