8. Luther Campbell – Miami

The former frontman for the rap group 2 Live Crew is totally plugged into the Miami Hurricanes football team. He’s affectionately known as Uncle Luke and can be seen in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary The U  where he talks about his involvement with Miami football.

During the 80s and early 90s when Miami was the king of college football, he served as the unofficial mascot or spokesman who would urge local athletes to play for the U.

The relationship hasn’t always been perfect between the two parties with Luke threatening to expose some violations the university has committed, but like most familial relationships, there are good times and bad times.

With Miami resuming its quest to return to national greatness in college football, Luther Campbell will certainly be right there with his beloved Hurricanes.

If that doesn’t work soon, I think it’s time to hire Uncle Luke and have him coach up the Canes. I mean, he can’t do any worse than Randy Shannon or Al Golden, right?
