The salient issue seems to have escaped you for more superfluous items. It doesn’t matter if he’s making money or not from NIL deals. He’s allowed to run a failing business and try to make money. He has a legitimate business that’s a publicly listed company. Whether he’s successful with it or not is absolutely not an element under any legal standard. It’s a legitimate business whether you like it or not.
It’s not a relevant element in a case.
Agree, but how Ruiz seems to be both, no? I believe he has donated considerable sums of money to the school, which I think would make him a booster, and runs a public company sponsoring NIL deals.
He is both. I think it will be addressed by the court or will need to be. He’s acting in a booster capacity when he donates to the baseball team and in an NIL sponsor capacity when doing deals with the Cavinder twins. The ncaa is effectively trying to say that his position of booster in some sports or whatever all sports - restricts his ability to engage in NIL opportunities for his business. By cracking down on the school for it, they’re damaging his ability to make deals under a law which permits these types of business activities. The NCAA is a ******* monopoly and their actions will be held to a stricter standard in certain regards.
Almost all stocks are down... Way down and have been for quite some time.... It's not just his...... The past few years everything has taken a hit ... Some are crawling back up but it's gonna be a minute till things find some sense of normalcy...
I prefer Perry Mason.
No, he didn't say he wasn't a booster. He said LifeWallet activities were not booster activities.
Of course he trying to separate it. Every legitimate sports endorsement on any level is done by a corporate entity manage by individuals that overwhelmingly went to one college our another. All of them could be classified as a booster. But their corporate business activities are separate and distinct from any booster activities.
It's the state laws and the Supreme Court ruling that's blurred NCAA bylaws. The NCAA has still not reconciled their bylaws with state statues in an unambiguous manner to provide guidance. That was supposedly the reason why the NCAA initially came down for an inquiry with Ruiz, to see how it's done.
You don't know that. As someone who's had to measure and audit sales promotion activities for several Fortune 100 multinationals, there's typically a time lag between performing a marketing or sales promotion activity and the impact on the bottom line.
My understanding is that the funds are disbursed by LifeWallet, not from his personal "fun money".
Are you new around here. None of us like the NCAA. There's too much history, most of it to our detriment.
You need to release your personal animus about Ruiz. It's affecting your ability to think rationally.
We’ll probably get an SEC SEC SEC-educated loyalist in Atlanta as the case officer.
Who is this gif and your avi of? It’s so sinister, I love it.
We need these ****ers to hack and expose the NCAA
They’re a hacker group named Anonymous
many are lawyers, few of us are attorneys
Nonsensical argument by Schoenthal, who is likely not a lawyer. First because it assumes the emails and other communications were not already provided in the NC2A investigation. Second, it assumes that there are incriminating emails. Third and most importantly YOU REALLY THINK RUIZ WOUILD INITIATE A LAWSUIT IN WHICH HE HAS INCRIMINATING EMAILS AGAINST HIMSELF?
Who stole that look from the movie V For Vendetta, where the protagonist wears a Guy Fawkes mask.
