I would agree that for someone or something looking to find fault, see NCAA or our competitors, they will spin the use of the word “committed”. But knowing what we do about Ruiz, I am very confident he made sure that Mesidor was signed to UM before any contract was created between him and Life...

I don’t think so. Is your concern over Ruiz writing that ‘because you committed to the U, now Life Wallet is now committed to you‘? Implying that it is some form of pay for play? The reason I don’t think it is a problem is that the point of NIL for the company, putting aside the player at the...

As the incomparable Mark Twain advised, ”Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience“.

For those of us not on Twitter, can any post the tweeted that are killing Kanell. I’m afraid us old guys are missing out on the fun.

Could not have written it better, Frankly, UM is at its best when it wears the black hat. UM is counter culture. UM is about doing what others don’t want to do, or are scared to do, and doing it loudly. And more importantly as you wrote, whether we are quiet or loud, the criticism is...

If the sanction limits NIL opportunities in any way, the issue will go straight to a courtroom because NIL is a Supreme Court decision. Had the NCAA created NIL BEFORE the Supreme Court decision then they would still be the governing authority on the subject. But they did not and this will end...

Never bet against the self-made billionaires. They are used to fights and win them, they have an army of lawyers who are better than anyone the NCAA can hire for 75k/year, and they are very, very smart. If you guys think the NCAA has any leverage on John Ruiz you are wholly mistaken. The...

Ruiz will win in court If they go too far with this. And we don’t need this to recruit. Once players know that performance at UM results in big NIL deals, they will come for “nothing” and know they will get paid for production. FYI, everyone would rather see payment for production than paying...
