When Andrew Dakich, a basketball player at the University of Michigan, was about to be surprised with a full athletic scholarship, his coach and two campus police officers took him on an emotional rollercoaster ride first.
In a video released by the Michigan basketball team, two uniformed campus officers could be seen interrupting a team meeting, and calling out the basketball player's name.
"Andrew Dakich? Is he here?" One of them announced at the front of the room. "It has come to our attention that your conduct on campus is related to a couple of ongoing investigations."
The team ominously falls silent, and Dakich was motionless.
As the officer continues to read from the papers, a frightened Dakich is led out until the big reveal that he'll "be awarded a full men's basketball scholarship for the 2017 winter term at the University of Michigan."
Immediately, the group burst out in cheers and applause.
"They got me for sure," Dakich later said in a press conference. "It was an experience I'll never forget."
