Uncle Luke Compares the NCAA to Modern-Day Slavery

In light of the recent University of Miami scandal, Luke is speaking his mind.

Uncle Luke is pissed off at the NCAA. With the University of Miami coming under heavy fire, the Miami New Times has invited Luke to blog about his thoughts on the scandal this week—and he's taken full advantage of it. Earlier this morning, he posted his thoughts on the NCAA as a whole, which he likened to modern-day slavery.

"More than a century of treating student athletes like indentured servants is finally catching up to the NCAA," Luke writes. "How can anyone expect college players to be satisfied with just getting a scholarship and free room-and-board at a major university that rakes in tens of millions of dollars annually from conference television deals, bowl games, and the NCAA basketball tournament? It's downright ludicrous."

You can read that blog—and a blog where Luke calls out former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro for referring to himself as "Little Luke"—now. [via Miami New Times]
