That's not a "cushy" salary. Hell, $28k is barely above poverty for a single mother. And certainly not something she's clearly unqualified for.
-Several higher-ups in the company had Duke connections.
Like others have said, so do most major companies with major presences in the triangle.
It's certainly possible that her son being a stud Duke player was a factor in her hiring - that all other things equal, the Duke booster thought it would be cool to have that kind of connection to the team - but that's a far cry from K orchestrating some grand scheme that Duhon's commitment was dependent on.
