Mid-year transfer allowed? How's he getting into school for the Fall? What a joke.

Smooth and perfect tone with every sport he called.
When he and Rowdy Gaines called swimming at the Olympics, that was a master class.
Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history.
From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades.
But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.

This is stunning. Hicks was scheduled to call this Saturday's Boston College-Notre Dame game for NBC. He was an excellent broadcaster, especially on golf. RIP.
