LAWRENCE, Kan.- Statement from Sheahon Zenger in response to comments from University of Missouri officials regarding the continuation of the KU-Missouri rivalry should Missouri decide to leave the Big 12 Conference:

"KU-Missouri is a great rivalry.  The University of Kansas is a great Midwestern school, loyal to our Midwestern conference and to our Midwestern roots.  The KU-Missouri rivalry belongs in the Big 12 Conference.  Should Missouri decide to leave the Big 12, we would wish them well."
