What’s next after K-State fired Jerome Tang? Plus, how KC became a World Cup hub

When it comes to FIFA World Cup base camps, Kansas City can flex.  Three of the world’s top-seven teams — Argentina, England and Netherlands — have made it official: They’re summer camping in KC. On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR, columnist Sam McDowell explains how Kansas City created the conditions to land those teams — and what it means to have them and their fans coming to the Heartland. Also, Kansas State reporter Kellis Robinett goes inside the coaching change at K-State. Jerome Tang is out, and the Wildcats are in the market for a new men’s basketball coach.  Complicating matters: Tang was fired with cause for postgame press conference comments, and he plans to fight the school for his $18.67 million buy out.
