UNC, Duke mascots share secrets inside the suits

They are the ultimate school cheerleaders, but players, coaches and fans don’t know their names, what they look like or the sound of their voices. The men inside the Duke Blue Devil and UNC Rameses mascot costumes say they plan to keep it that way. The mascot metamorphosis is so shrouded in secrecy that the men are not even allowed to tell those closest to them about their undercover job. (WRAL Sports Fan)
