It’s all about the U. The former Hurricane has donated $1.6 million to the University of Miami athletic department. It is the largest amount a former athlete has ever donated to the University.
“Campbell’s donation topped the $1.5 million gift from former Hurricanes running back Ken Hunt in December. Miami will rename its defensive line room after Campbell, making him the sixth former Hurricane to have an area of the football offices named after him.
“I know how rare these jobs are,” Campbell told ESPN.com of being an NFL player. “I want to make sure that every kid, especially at the University of Miami, understands the importance of having a good fall-back plan, something you would enjoy doing if the NFL doesn’t work out for you.
“This is my way of showing it.”
I know its surprising but Miami ranks near the bottom in the ACC in terms of their facilities, so this should be a big help to the program.
