History
Kansas ranks second all-time (behind Kentucky) in NCAA Division I wins with 2,078 wins (as of 12/16/12), against 807 losses (.720 all time winning %, 3rd all-time). This record includes a 688–107 (.865) mark at historic Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks are first in NCAA history with 93 winning seasons, and first in NCAA history with 96 non-losing (.500 or better) seasons. Kansas has the fewest head coaches (8) of any program that has been around 100 years, yet has reached the Final Four under more head coaches (6) than any other program in the nation. Every head coach at Kansas since the inception of the NCAA Tournament has led the program to the Final Four. Kansas has had four head coaches inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, more than any other program in the nation. A perennial conference powerhouse, Kansas leads Division I all-time in regular season conference titles with 55 in 104 years of conference play (the MVIAA Conference was created in 1907) through the 2011–2012 regular season. The Jayhawks have won a record 12 conference titles and a record 8 conference tournament titles in the 16 years of the Big 12's existence. The program also owns the best Big 12 records in both those areas with a 262–44 record in conference play and a 32–8 record in tournament play. The Jayhawks won their 2,000th game in school history when they defeated Texas Tech in the 2009–2010 season, joining University of Kentucky and University of North Carolina as the only schools to boast such an achievement.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
