Kansas coach Bill Self will make his return to Champaign, Illinois when the Jayhawks face the Illini in an exhibition clash on Oct. 29 to raise funds for the victims affected by the Maui wildfires.
The two schools were slated to participate in a closed scrimmage ahead of the 2023-24 season. However, the two schools announced that they would play in a televised game on the Big Ten network with proceeds from the matchup given to the Maui Strong Fund.
Officials reported that the wildfires have killed at least 111 people, including children, according to CNN. Even more, Hawai’i Gov. Josh Green told CNN on Wednesday that the death toll is expected to rise as rescue searches continue and that more than “1,000 residents remain unaccounted for.”
