Danny White was just officially introduced asUCF's new athletics director Thursday morning, but he's already earned the respect of the American Athletic Conference's head man.
AAC commissioner Mike Aresco said he was thrilled when he heard White was named the school's new athletics leader Thursday. For close to a quarter of a century, Aresco has been friends with Danny's parents — Kevin and Jane White — taking trips together.
Aresco, who was in Orlando to watch UCF's prime-time showdown with East Carolina, said while he didn't know Danny White personally, he's heard a lot of good things about him.
