This is a two way street; if this goes to court, all communications can be subpoenaed. There’s still a fine print regarding NIL & Boosters.
I thought about this too. The problem will be wether things were said about other schools during texts.
If a recruit says or has screen shots of what other real boosters or coaches or bagmen have said or told players the ncaa is fckd.
The ncaa has investigated schools and looked away on purpose when another school is mentioned.
I’ll use the rebel rags case with Leo Lewis as an example. When the ncaa asked Lewis if they were any other schools that gave him money he said yes and named the schools.
Those schools names were redacted from the testimony and the ncaa never went after them.
I’m not a lawyer but If this goes to court and other schools are implicated I assume the ncaa will have to go after them as well. And what if it’s found out that the ncaa did or has known about situations and did nothing?
The ncaa has gone after schools with no oversight from anyone and they’ve acted (imo) favorably to those they wish not be punished and straight up looked away in most cases.
I wonder what the ncaa would’ve done if our staff was handing out McDonald’s bags of cash.
Ruiz ain’t stupid and he likely won’t go trying to sue the ncaa out of spite without knowing what’s at stake. Discovery is a two way street and everyone on this board knows that the ncaa has skeletons and buried bodies all over frontrunner campuses.
