The Kansas Jayhawks football program is the intercollegiate football program of the University of Kansas. The program is classified in the NCAA's Division I Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and the team competes in the Big 12 Conference. The team's head coach is David Beaty, who is in his first season in 2015. The program has a long history. Its first season was 1890, making it one of the earlier football programs established in the nation. The team's home field is Memorial Stadium, which opened in 1921 and is the seventh-oldest college football stadium in the nation.〔(Memorial Stadium Facts )〕 KU's all-time record is 579–610–58, as of the conclusion of the 2015 season. Notable former Kansas players include Pro Football Hall of Famers Gale Sayers, John Riggins, and Mike McCormack, as well as All-Americans John Hadl, Dana Stubblefield, Bobby Douglass, Nolan Cromwell, Aqib Talib, and Anthony Collins. Kansas has appeared in twelve bowl games, including three trips to the Orange Bowl (1947, 1969, and 2008). Kansas played in the first NCAA-contracted nationally-televised regular season college football game on September 20, 1952, against TCU. Along with Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Washington University in St. Louis, Kansas was a charter member of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1907, which evolved into the Big Eight Conference. The Big Eight was folded into the Big 12 in 1996, and Kansas is the only member of the original MVIAA that is still part of the Big 12. ==History== The most successful era for KU football was 1890 to 1932, when the program recorded two undefeated seasons and posted an overall winning percentage. From 1933 to 1968, the Jayhawks continued to find success on the football field, sharing three conference titles and attending their first bowl games, but the team's overall winning percentage during that era slipped to (158–174–22). From 1969 through the 2015 season KU's winning percentage slipped further to (207–323–9), and ten of the eleven (non-interim) coaches at KU during this era have losing records. During the 2012 season, the program's all-time winning percentage fell below .500 for the first time since KU finished 1–2 in 1890. Nevertheless, even during these lean years, the team has had some successful seasons, winning the Orange Bowl in 2008 and twice finishing in the top 10 of the AP Poll. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kansas Jayhawks football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
