University of Kansas: A Deep Love

In this episode of BYUradio's Big Stories, Cleon Wall tells three stories of Kansas Jayhawk's love. In the first tale, Kansas play-by-play announcer Brian Hanni had a great job after graduating from the University of Kansas, but he wanted to impact the world more than talking about sports. Hanni shares why he started the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic and how it helps kids with cancer. Story number two focuses on Darius and Kwinton Lassiter, two brothers who play for two different teams. Darius is a wide receiver for BYU, and Kwinton plays cornerback for Kansas. But Darius may not be in this position if he weren't adopted by Kwinton's family when he was young. Finally, we pay tribute to John Hadl, a Kansas football legend who loved Lawrence and his alma mater.
