Kansas legislator looks to jump start intra-state rivalry with bill.
Byline: Adam Knapp
WICHITA, Kan. _ A bill introduced in the Kansas Legislature would require the University of Kansas and Wichita State University to schedule two men's basketball games against each other, one in each arena.
The man who introduced it, Rep. Todd Novascone, R-Wichita, does not think it will pass.
"I just wanted to get people talking about it," Novascone said Monday. "I'm sick of them not playing each other. Hopefully this will stir up talk, and if we have a hearing I will certainly make my case. It might turn into something."
The schools have not played since the 1992-93 season. They have met 14 times, with KU winning 12.
Novascone, a Baylor University graduate, did not want his name to appear on the bill alone, so he introduced it as a committee bill through the Tourism and Parks Committee on Friday.
"But word got around pretty quickly that it was me," said Novascone, 31.
