Ruiz potentially suing the NCAA….

RVACane said:
**** the ncaa. Playing nice doesn’t help. I’m not knowledgeable in this area of law. For someone who is, does he have legit defamation and tortuous interference with business relationships claims???

They’re ******* with his business and apparently saying things that aren’t true.

I am no lawyer but I heard many at Miami were not happy with the NCAA. This will be very interesting.

I feel like he has a good argument. In the age of NIL, is there an established time when business deals can be negotiated? He has shown a history of signing folks to NIL deals and has been open with the NCAA when they came snooping around. If it was another school, (with the exception of maybe USC) the NCAA wouldn’t give two *****. I hope he wipes the floor with them.

I mean he bought into an IT space. Based on my research into CRM creation, you can bend and mold anything CRM based into any industry with talented enough development team.

We are 4 things here

1) Lawyers
2) Public safety/Public Health
3) Military Members
4) Businessmen/women

That actually explains why we‘re dysfunctional here now that I think about it. We’re knee deep in **** and stressed the **** out or drinking because we’re knee deep in **** and stressed the **** out.

#4 here and you nailed it on the head haha.
 
Man, some of you all...

"He draws too much attention..." :cry:

"He is going to attract the NCAA..." :cry:

"He should just stay quiet and cut checks like a good boy while I steal my neighbors cable to watch Cane games, I don't care if social media is how he gets ROI..." :cry:

"He's an attention ***** who should be like other boosters and stay in the shadows..." :cry:

**** THAT. Some if you just want us to be house dogs who take orders from our NCAA masters like we have for decades, the same masters that hit us with a stick if we make any sort of noise.

Me? I'm rooting for chaos. Blow the whole ******* thing up. Ruiz hasn't broken any rules. This is America. Let the man work.

I read that he’s suing for being considered a booster.

The NCAA defines boosters as “any third-party entity that promotes an athletics program, assists with recruiting or assists with providing benefits to recruits, enrolled student-athletes or their family members.” This catch-all label could also include collectives, or groups typically founded by university alumni that pool and allocate financial resources for athletes by way of NIL contracts.

I’m assuming he’ll contend that he’s a business man who provides opportunities to further his business via marketing w/ student athletes, & this was a business arrangement, not a ploy to drive the twins to play at The University of Miami.

Unfortunately, the issue is two fold…while I applaud Mr. Ruiz for going up against the NCAA, there was this caveat that I found cringeworthy:

Some in the NIL space recently told On3 that the NCAA might actually welcome a NIL-related court case. “The best thing for the NCAA is a court case because once it is initiated by a potential booster we have the discovery process,” said Peter Schoenthal, CEO of Athliance. “Both parties are entitled to all of the discovery – aka, the evidence – involved in the case. If the right case is brought, there are certainly going to be implicating emails and text messages, which is going to allow the NCAA to say, ‘See, we told you so.’ ”

Discovery works both ways. It didn’t work out too well for the NCAA the last time they ****ed with us.

What he is contending is literally what it states. That he is a booster for the university of Miami. #1 in every instance he deals with kids based on a business platform. He's very focused on that. #2 he has kids at plenty of different schools doing the same exact thing. Regardless of all those points he has taken on slander as a result of the NCAA to where he did nothing at all wrong.

hopefully.

id feel better if it were UM suing or Meier. for ruiz, I trust that hes got enough layers of distance between his cell phone email and recruits players etc, but Id assume everything under life wallet would get subpoenaed here and his kids are morons. you already know those two got some boneheaded **** in writing that would lead to a huge unboxing that would hurt us

UM or Meier suing makes no sense. It’s Ruiz or nobody.

yes and no. we ultimately won because they got greedy and stupid, but creating a three year plus "cloud" (sheeet, i hatte to use a Golden term) that hung over the program caused plenty of damage.

My understanding is he invested his millions into something that become multi-billions. So in essence, his successful firm led to him being stupid rich.
