No football coach was more excited to be in Dallas this past week for Big 12 Media Days than David Beaty.
No, the Kansas coach didn't have a ton of wins from last season to talk about; his team was winless last fall. No, he didn't have a great outlook to tout; the Jayhawks are picked to finish last in the league again. But Beaty was happy to be back in the area where he grew up — and where his father was a police officer.
Buford Beaty served in the Dallas Police Department when David and his twin brother were young.
