Rowing

It has been brought up before as to the inclusion of Women's Rowing and not Men's Crew, or taking Rowing off the list.

Here are some facts regarding Rowing's inclusion...

1...At KSU and KU the sport of Women's Rowing is school sponsored. (Men's Crew is a club at both schools)

2...Both universities list Women's Rowing on their official athletic websites as a sport. (Men's Crew is not)

3...Women's Rowing is an NCAA Varsity Sport at both Universities. (KU was the first to add it in 1995, K-State was second in 1996.)

If this sport is to be removed we need to develop criteria on how to include sports.

Rowing standings

Since the media guides for the schools don't set forth the series standings for rowing, I thought I'd share my research on the standings in the rowing series between the two schools.

I'm only seeing one match-up a year now, and this says what Kansas Cup is now the Sunflower Showdown.[2] Anyway, KSU won in April 2012 to even the Spring standings to 8-8 according to my research. (The linked article says KSU leads 8-7 but I think it's missing a year...?) -Kgwo1972 (talk) 19:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

KSU won the Sunflower Showdown on March 30, 2013. -Kgwo1972 (talk) 02:57, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Basketball brawl

A basketball brawl occurred on January 21 in a 81–60 win for Kansas at home vs Kansas State. Can this be placed on Wikipedia? J4lambert (talk) 18:01, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

• Merge Sunflower Showdown with Kansas–Kansas State football rivalry

Don't see any specific benefit of their being a totally separate article for the football rivalry, especially one inappropriately titled. Each individual game in each sport is called the Sunflower Showdown. this is an article from KU calling the football game this year the "Sunflower Showdown", [https://kuathletics.com/jayhawks-top-wildcats-in-dillons-sunflower-showdown/ last year's men's basketball game calling it the Sunflower Showdown, and here's the baseball game being called the Sunflower Showdown. My point is it seems like the logic behind separate articles existing is the rivalry as whole is the Sunflower Showdown but the individual games are not, based on a now removed comment that was on the football rivalry page. Not sure if there's any precedent for this but there's very little in the football rivalry page that isn't in the main rivalry page. The Border War in football has arguably been more competitive historically (Sunflower Showdown has been a streaky rivalry) but yet there's no separate page. Yes I know other stuff doesn't exist isn't really valid argument, but still I feel like this should discussed.--Rockchalk717 04:11, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

• Note: The term "Sunflower Series" didn't come into usage until the 1960s, but the rivalry dates back to the early 1900s. Cbl62 (talk) 11:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
