Kansas Jayhawks Serving as Team USA at World University Games
Posted Jul 6, 2015
USA Basketball changed the way that they handle the World University Games this summer. Instead of stocking a roster with the best upperclassmen talent in college, Team USA is simply the Kansas Jayhawks (plus FGCU’s Julian DeBose and SMU’s Nic Moore). The problem? Kansas wasn’t American enough in their first game. The Jayhawks donned Kansas jerseys for their opener against Turkey, with “KANSAS” written across the chest. This wasn’t good enough for FIBA officials.
