Chris Creighton awards a #ScholarshipAlert in an unprecedented way (Eastern Michigan)

The #ScholarshipAlert trend has carved out a great niche among fans for always being both touching and heartfelt.

This one from Eastern Michigan is on another level.

Typically, when a program awards a walk on with a scholarship, it's because they've got open scholarships to give.

Well what happens when there's a deserving walk on, but no open scholarships?

That's what happened at Chris Creighton's program when a special kid with a scholarship already, walked into Creighton's office willing and prepared to give his free ride up to a deserving walk on within his position group.

That scholarship guy was graduate student Brian Dooley, and in a special moment set up during a team meeting, he hand delivered his scholarship to senior walk-on offensive lineman Zack Conti.

Catch that special moment below. 

What an incredible testament to the culture that has been built by Creighton and his staff at Eastern Michigan.
