View source for Kansas Jayhawks

The '''Kansas Jayhawks''', commonly referred to as simply KU or Kansas, are the athletic teams that represent the University of Kansas in Lawrence. KU is one of three schools in the state of Kansas that participate in NCAA Division I. The Jayhawks are also a member of the [[Big 12 Conference]]. KU athletic teams have won eleven NCAA Division I championships: three in men's basketball, one in men's cross country, three in men's indoor track and field, three in men's outdoor track and field, and one in women's outdoor track and field.

The name "Jayhawks" comes from the Kansas Jayhawker freedom fighter and pro-Unionist militias during the Bleeding Kansas era of the American Civil War.
