Dan Hicks, the play-by-play voice of Notre Dame football on NBC Sports, died Thursday after an acute illness, his family announced. He was scheduled to call Saturday's game against Boston College in South Bend, the network and his wife, ESPN sportscaster Hannah Storm, said.
His final Notre Dame telecast was Oct. 10, and the next day he went to the Chicago Marathon to support his daughter Riley, who ran it. Golf Channel host Rich Lerner said Thursday that Hicks was “at the top of his game.”
“Dan was truly one of a kind and, quite simply, the person everyone wanted to be around. When he walked into a room, he brought the energy, the laughter and the people together.”
