Trey Burke Rips Michigan for 'Jail Food,' Not Preparing Him for NBA Career

Despite being one of the top college basketball players in the country, Trey Burke didn't think highly of his time at the University of Michigan.

The current Washington Wizards point guard spoke Monday at a Knight Commission panel and had some harsh criticisms. Per Jon Solomon of CBS Sports, Burke had major issues with the meals in Ann Arbor:

Burke also believes the school didn't do enough to help him prepare for life after college:

The 23-year-old player spent two seasons at Michigan, winning the Naismith Award as the National Player of the Year during his sophomore year. He also helped lead the Wolverines to the national title game before falling to Louisville. 

His success during his final season makes another claim that he "checked out" before the year an interesting one.

Meanwhile, Matt Shepard of Fox Sports Detroit countered Burke's assertion about the poor standard for food at Michigan:

After foregoing his last two years of college eligibility, the point guard was taken with the No. 9 pick of the NBA draft, spending his first three years with the Utah Jazz.

Burke has struggled since a promising first season in the NBA, when he was named to the All-Rookie team. He finished last season averaging 10.6 points and 2.3 assists per game after moving out of the starting lineup for the first time in his career.

Utah traded him to the Wizards for a 2021 second-round pick this offseason.

Shane Battier, Old Dominion coach Jeff Jones and Atlantic 10 commissioner Bernadette McGlade were among the other members of the panel for the Knight Commission, which was created to help improve academic value in the NCAA.
