Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rick Fox has resigned after five seasons as football coach at Drake. Fox compiled a 33-22 record with the FCS Bulldogs, including a 7-4 mark this past season, which ended with a 27-24 road loss to then-No. 24 Iowa State. He was 28-12 in Pioneer Football League play.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs owner Clark Hunt says the difference in this year’s team and all those that lost in the playoffs starts with Patrick Mahomes. Much like in their comeback win over Baltimore on Sunday, the Chiefs are seemingly never out of a game with their young QB under center. Mahomes already has the Chiefs in the playoffs. Up next is securing the AFC West title.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says the Kansas City Royals and outfielder Billy Hamilton have agreed to a $5.25 million contract for next season that includes up to $1 million in incentives. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal was pending a physical. Hamilton made $4.6 million with the Cincinnati Reds last season, when he was their everyday center fielder. He was not tendered a contract for this season.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas State hired Chris Klieman of North Dakota State to lead its football program Monday night, passing the reins from retired Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder to someone with three Football Championship Subdivision titles but little Big 12 experience. Klieman was hired to lead the Bison by current Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor, and was seen as one of the front-runners for the job ever since Snyder announced his retirement.
UNDATED (AP) — No. 1 Kansas to face No. 17 Villanova in rematch of 2018 Final Four semifinals. The Jayhawks moved back to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 this week following Gonzaga’s loss to Tennessee. The Wildcats have six straight games since falling out of the poll
UNDATED (AP) — Preseason No. 1 Kansas is again the top-ranked team in the AP Top 25 following Gonzaga’s loss to Tennessee. The Jayhawks were the overwhelming top pick among voters despite struggling to get past New Mexico State at home. Duke moved up to No. 2 and Tennessee is No. 3 after beating the Zags in Phoenix.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri defensive end Tre Williams has been arrested on suspicion of felony second-degree domestic assault. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the 21-year-old sophomore was arrested around 6 a.m. Sunday at his off-campus residence. He was released on $4,500 bond. No details about the alleged crime have been released. The Boone County prosecutor’s office says no charges have been filed, but Missouri has suspended Williams. Missouri plays Oklahoma State in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rick Fox has resigned after five seasons as football coach at Drake. Fox compiled a 33-22 record with the FCS Bulldogs, including a 7-4 mark this past season, which ended with a 27-24 road loss to then-No. 24 Iowa State. He was 28-12 in Pioneer Football League play.
Fox said in a statement, Monday “My wife, Julie, and I felt that this is the right time for us as a family and the right time for Drake football for me to step away from being the head coach at Drake University. The 11 years here, including the last five as head coach, have been incredibly rewarding.”
Fox spent six seasons on Drake’s staff as an assistant under Chris Creighton before taking over as coach. Defensive coordinator Todd Stepsis was named interim coach. Athletic director Brian Hardin said he would conduct a national search for Fox’s replacement.
