What sets KU Hearings apart:

KUHearings is run by me, Mike Vernon. I’m a KU alum (class of 2014), and a former sports journalist who worked my way up from University Daily Kansan to reporting roles at the San Francisco Chronicle and Bleacher Report.

I eventually hung up big-J journo cleats and moved into tech, but I couldn’t stand not getting informed about the Jayhawks from the traditional media covering the team.

Why was no one reporting on Jeff Long and Les Miles ruining relationships with donors? Why did we hear KU football was improving for 15 consecutive years when the program was in the gutter? And why weren’t we learning more about who the players were as humans anymore?

I started chasing down the scoops that nobody else was getting, and sharing them with you, the KU Community. Thus, KUHearings was born. 

What to expect

  • Unparalleled Insider Access: I’ll bring you behind-the-scenes insights you won't find anywhere else.

  • Award-Winning Reporting: My investigative series on the NCAA's investigation into KU was praised by Bill Self himself and called "groundbreaking" by a 60 Minutes correspondent. As a student, I won a national sportswriting award and scholarship that helped launch my journalism career.

  • Independent Voice: Unlike traditional media, I don’t rely on KU for access. That means, I can be honest and speak candidly about what actually matters for the University and KU fans.

  • Invitations to "secret scoops" rooms on KUHearings’ online messaging board

Why it all matters… 

I believe an informed fanbase is a good fanbase.

Hopefully, together, we can help KU and have some fun along the way.
