Danny White dreamed about leading UCF's athletics department for much of the past decade.
His father, Kevin White, who is also the athletics director for Duke, had experience working with Dr. John Hitt in the past, so he knew the about the Knights' commitment to academic excellence, the pursuit of championship-level competition and Florida's rich recruiting landscape made for a distinct job.
White's long-time dream became reality Thursday morning when he took his first steps on campus to prepare for his formal introduction as UCF's ninth athletics director in front of school administrators, coaches, media and, of course his family, which included his brother and head Florida men's basketball coach Michael White.
