Kansas revival: How Mangino transformed KU into a football school too

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news;_ylt=Agioq_0sGJMIryA0OT6uRlocvrYF?slug=jn-kansas110907&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

This is a really great piece following Kansas coach Mark Mangino's time at KU so far. In it he discusses how he changed the conditions of Kansas' football program from a stagnant, rotting junk pile into the #5 team in the country with record attendance at games. I really recommend his article so you can see how hard it is to change attitudes in a "basketball school."
