Editorial: Just Say No to KU Missouri Rivalry Return
The piece argues against reviving the Kansas KU Missouri football game at Arrowhead. It contends the rivalry belongs on campus, cites Kansas City business interests and tax revenue as motives for renewal, and dismisses the notion that noble aims justify moving games to a pro stadium. It urges home-and-home play in Lawrence and Columbia instead.
