It would help to know what the fabric you have looks like. When I wanted the fabric to be the main focus point I used it as a center medallion and then added borders. Also a single Irish chain, using the main fabric as the larger block then complimenting fabrics working as the chains would work too.

Since I a big fan of the Jayhawk, I would make him front and center.

I agree on knowing what fabric you have before making a suggestion on the quilt pattern. Small logos? Large mascots etc. Photo would be great.

One of the coolest I've seen was using solid red and blue for sashings/borders, etc and the maker fussy cut large Jayhawks out of her fabric and used a basic square within a square to frame the Jayhawks.
