The U boot: Uncle Luke steps into minor NCAA no-no

luther-campbell.jpg



Thanks to NCAA sanctions stemming from the illicit activities of a former booster-turned-current felon, and the fact that they’re on probation until 2016, Miami is especially sensitive when it comes to anything, big or small, that could be considered a violation of Association bylaws.

Friday, one of the most visible UM boosters witnessed firsthand just how sensitive The U remains.

Yesterday afternoon, Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell, founder of the rap group “2 Live Crew,” tweeted that he had been kicked out of The U football building by athletic department officials after a recruit who was on an official visit asked to get a picture taken with Campbell. Campbell further claimed that he had been “barred” from the campus.

What can you say, Uncle Luke is a race baiting scum bag.

Wouldn't go that far, but he's given plenty of payola to The U AD and shown up on the sidelines on game day (which doesn't hurt recruiting) for years, so clearly hasn't come to grips with the new world order that he no longer has carte blanche in the locker room or recruiting lounge to hobnob with recruits like he'd been doing for the past two decades.

I don't see this as being any different to the culture shock going on at every major college campus where former big money celeb boosters are being carefully walled off from unsupervised access.
