John Ruiz creates his own sports agency.

[Bender]

Makes sense with the amount of NIL deals he makes that he keeps these connections in terms of athletic representation.

 

[Hurracanes]

Love this move. As someone who has worked for a global sports agency, it’s a difficult industry but this may be big for Miami.

 

[We the Boss]

Sports agency without @Peter Ariz is like the blue notes without Harold Melvin: ***** won’t ever go platinum.

 

[RozayCane]

Hmm smart.. but wonder does the create issues with those not signed, or choose not to sign with him.

Just thinking out loud.

 

[skyman]

Smart. He is already a lawyer and its a industry he already has foot in with knowledge, resources and access..

 

[Canesmia01]

I know nothing about any of this and am just thinking out loud. I hope this agency would not cause a conflict of interest between the clients he is representing and say lifewallet, a company that would be negotiating an NIL deal as both are his companies.

Smart because he can tell these kids drop their representation and he will save them points on the money since it’s his money anyway.

Would assume John Ruiz and his merry band of lawyers worked through, talked through and thought through all of this before going through the effort and expense of launching a sports law firm.

I could probably answer this question if you re-phrased it. I am not sure what you're asking.

No

Why not? Lol

On the surface at least, I like it. Go Canes

Just thinking, he signs a lot of players now.

But now that he is starting a agency, does that conflict in how much or if he even offer a HS or transfer players who already have representation, and chooses not to sign with him?

Do agents now steer their clients elsewhere for NIL in fear that Ruiz will try and steal them.

I can just see some potential issues here with recruits..

 

[AUcane]

I sure wish he would spellcheck his tweets especially if they are "breaking news".

 

[AlexCane]

I am an attorney and yes, the potential for conflicts is real.

Long answer is more complicated; short answer is "yes" to all of the above.
