The renewal of the Border War rivalry is a win for everyone involved

One of the greatest rivalries in the sport of college basketball has been renewed. We are less than two weeks away from the start of the 2019 season, but Monday night’s announcement has us already counting down to December 12th, 2020.

The Border War is officially back, and I couldn’t be more excited.

Two games in Kansas City, two games in Lawrence, and two games in Columbia. What a fantastic setup. Athletic directors Jeff Long and Jim Sterk deserve a whole lot of credit of bringing this historic rivalry back, and they did it by absolutely nailing this scheduling.
