He’s a VERY smart man. They won’t **** with him or Miami. It’s all optics. Move along nothing to see here. However, he’s also smart enough to know it’s the quiet mouse that gets the cheese. His eyes are WIDE OPEN NOW.

I still like the way he came out gunz blazing. It got national attention, told every recruit in the country that Miami is playing bog boy ball and open for business. We needed that kind of bold statement and we got it on top of all the publicity from hiring Mario.

So now you settle down, throw the NCAA a bone and work in silence. Played out just the way it needed to.

I’ll just say there was bigger issues going on than negotiating with a qb. This is one of the reasons I preferred he moved in silence. We’re Miami , everyone knows the deal.

Yup and it's why I'm a huge advocate for not letting everyone know all of your business. Ruiz, and the foolish fans egging him on, should've known what would happen if anyone associated with Miami started to become too boastful.
 
From a more sinister intent stand point, isn't it possible that the NCAA is worried that UM has a billionaire booster, likely followed by rich alumni schools like USC, and the NCAA wanted to understand how Ruiz is operating so that they could create some new rule that makes it difficult/impossible for someone to do what Ruiz is doing? Like they asked to look under the hood of the car so they could create a rule banning a particular motor.

I would not be shocked if the NCAA tries to craft a rule against individual boosters like Ruiz, and allow the collectives to go unchecked as they will be far more prevalent in schools with larger, but less individually affluent alumni (code wording for SEC). I am not saying this will work but I don't trust the NC2A as far as I can spit as I believe they are agenda driven and the agenda is to protect certain schools over others while pretending to create a level playing field.

Would this work in court? Very unlikely. Would it gum up UM recruiting like the Adidas nonsense did to basketball? Very possible until it is resolved in court.

Its still a NCAA violation for a booster to work a deal for a high school player to sign with a school. The deal is suppose to take place after the player is a member of the team.
 
Not shocked. If the NCAA goes after Ruiz, he will sue the **** out of them. I would love to see a class action type suit where all the schools not in the SEC all band together, because selective enforcement harms all schools....

I'm with @AtlAtty. I'm not sure this is an investigation as much as an inquiry or an interview, perhaps designed to craft rules.

But I'm not concerned. It seems that there are basically no rules so it's pretty hard to violate anything at this juncture.

It seems fishy that all fans know what is happening re Collectives, promises, agents, and teams buying players, but although Miami played by NCAA rules and also the state of Florida, they chose our Canes for an "inquiry".....

I sense a lot of politics behind this move, especially directed at Miami , because we are now playing with the big boys, and competing for the names and talent they took for granted in the past or pre NIL.

The NCAA did cast a cloud, let it hang, and tried to hurt our progress with this move.

They are scared shi****** of what Mario could do also as he knows what the SEC is all about.

Make no mistake, Mario knows their secrets, hence this preliminary foray of intimidation by the NCAA, or a pre ememptive strike against the Canes to make their point.
This also can be easily disguised as a Q & A inquiry into Ruiz as a pretext to show other teams they are doing something, but they do not want to fish for a lawsuit... Bad pub.
 
Ruiz will run circles around the NCAA. My guess is this more of a meeting to understand what rules and guidelines should be in place so this isn't a complete free market. I'm not worried at all, this is more clickbait if anything at this point.

Mario knows how the sausage is made at those SEC schools so if they come after us, all **** will break loose.
 
Did the NCAA meet with Miami, or only with Ruiz? LifeWallet sponsors athletes from schools besides Miami (although I do realize that Miami would be the target of any investigation).

I’m probably splitting hairs here, but at this point I think any inquiry is a Ruiz inquiry, not a Miami inquiry.
