Yep. There's a difference between "my tweet on the $800K Nijel Pack contract got X million views" and Twitter flame battles with anonymous morons.

Be careful. If you even mention a more restrained approach, you will get the "but a CEO of a publicly-traded company should spend all day tweeting at his detractors because because because PR and Elon Musk and fvck the Gaytors..." Hire people to fight your Twitter flame wars for you. Save...

Again...not sure how many times this needs to be said... THE NCAA DID NOT LOSE 9-0 IN THE SUPREME COURT ON AN NIL CASE. The Alston case was NOT NOT NOT about NIL. It was about limitations on the amount of money THE SCHOOL can provide the to athletes. It involved the "academic achievement...

Ok... ...and "coaches" are not the same as "boosters"... And some states allow prostitution (Nevada), but you still can't provide a recruit with hookers...

You are confusing the issues. "State law" has authorized NIL deals to be done. The NCAA is not opposing NIL, generally. "State law" never has, nor does, address the NCAA's ability to regulate boosters and contact and recruiting. The NCAA still retains ample authority on that stuff.

Let's not ignore the obvious fact that Heitner is an advisor to the Gaytor collective. Soooooo, yeah, I could see why he is taking the intepretation that he is taking. That's not a criticism, I'm just saying that Heitner may be interpreting this through his orange-and-blue glasses.

Hilarious. Suuure, the "collectives" that promise that 100% of the money is going to the players and where people are donating their time and services...yes, those same "collectives" are gearing up for (eventual) Supreme Court appeals. You know, because those collectives have sooooo much money...

Wrong. But I don't expect anything different from you. I'm sure you've got the customer satisfaction surveys from all the Tesla buyers who say "yes, we are willing to pay tens of thousands extra for a car that can't use a gas station and takes quite a while to recharge, all because we just...

It's just a lawyer posturing. The NCAA can easily say "these are just timing restrictions, we love NIL, we allow NIL, we are just asking that all NIL deals be done after the recruit has signed with a school". People need to read the UNANIMOUS Supreme Court ruling. Which was NOT EVEN ABOUT NIL...

Wrong and wrong. Keep flying the Ignorant flag. There is already a link between Ruiz and UM. Ruiz is an alum and booster, as has been stated over and over and over again, no matter how many times you try to ignore it.

This is complete bullsh!te. Nobody buys a Tesla because of what Elon Musk tweets. His companies have succeeded in spite of his tweets, because they produce a good product. More importantly, Elon Musk isn't providing a bunch of money to assist a college football program, and drawing NCAA...

Yep. $30 million got spent on...oh, god knows what? Jimbo's also the guy who told us that Jameis was a nice guy who made a few mistakes... I know that people don't always watch the videos, but please invest the 44 seconds to watch this documentary file footage of a young Jimbo Fisher:

Ok, fair enough. I know sometimes I give you a hard time because you are younger and haven't been around for as long to see all the challenges Miami has overcome (and in fairness, you haven't gotten to enjoy the highest of highs, like when we won 3 titles in my first 6 years at UM). And for...

It's all good, my man, I wasn't trying to criticize, just to shine some extra light. Sorry that you went through this. If it was a couple of years ago, it was Beta Blake and his incompetent hirees. I, too, qualify as a booster, and I would be willing to bet BIG money (and I hate gambling, I...

The Alston ruling was 9-0. Kavanagh had a concurring opinion, which nobody else on the Court joined. I realize that the non-attorneys may not get the significance of that, but it is incredibly rare. Basically, Kavanagh wanted to pull out his ***** and make everyone look at it. Read the room...

Pretty certain that those kinds of rules do not apply to family members and longtime family friends. I know about someone who spent a half-day in the UM Compliance office getting grilled about an issue, and you can definitely push back. I'm not saying the rules don't say certain words, but...

The site now censors a 4-letter word that starts with w and ends with d, which is a slang word for recently legalized smokable tobacco. Go figure. Now I have to go mow my lawn and pull some weeds...

I don't think you know what the Supreme Court does...and doesn't...actually do. They don't wield "authority" in this situation, and they don't "set rules". The Supreme Court ruled on one case and controversy in Alston, and it was NOT NOT NOT the NIL issue. The Court said that the NCAA cannot...

No. It is incredibly easy to become a booster. Plus I would imagine that John Ruiz has made contributions in prior years. If you think that a millionaire alum with kids enrolled at Miami (at least two of whom were UM athletes) didn't get hit up for, and make, donations...then I'm not sure you...

He's a booster. Once a booster, always a booster. You can't just say "oh, now I want zero ties". It's too late. John Ruiz and his entire family are boosters.
