Scholarship season has commenced, and after the stunt David Cutcliffe pulled this week, Duke has set the early standard for programs around the country rewarding walk-ons in memorable fashion.
In a video posted Tuesday by the Blue Devils’ video department, Cutcliffe has a team meeting interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone. The call, it turns out, is from the parents of walk-on defensive end Danny Doyle, who is seated in the back of the room.
You probably know how the rest of this goes … not that it makes it any less chilling.
Kudos to the Duke players for keeping their cool in the early part, as they clearly knew what was about to happen.
