I understand what people are saying, but please raise your hand if you have spent over $10M to make Miami's NIL relevant.

I've been consistent all along. Two years ago, I was speaking up for "move in silence" when many posters wanted to freaking dance on the roofs of cars to publicize and celebrate that Miami was riiiiiiich. Don't make me pull receipts....

Mr. Ruiz has done wonderful things for UM, and I'm glad that he can continue to do so in a lower-profile manner.

Ruiz deserves nothing but credit for all he's done for the program. We may have struggled in football despite his largess. But no one can ever take away his contribution to an Elite 8 for Women's BB, a Final Four for Men's BB.

That said, I am ecstatic to read the above that we're no longer dependent on one or two mega NIL investors, and the budget managed to increase even as Ruiz has to pull back due to the Life Wallet issues. And the less social media the better, IMHO.

He's definitely done a 180 but there's also nothing to brag about now,let's see if it remains like this after we reel a couple big fish.

Ruiz don't run no show....The Soffers are far more influential in both funds, and their Love of Mario.

I've tried to tell these dudes numerous times. If not for carrol NONE of this is goin on. That sure the **** ain't just from a recruiting perspective. People would still be hiding in the shadows if it wasn't for carrol and oil money.

Not drying up. Its just a dead period for football rn. NFL football is slowly starting out with OTAs and that gradually builds up till September. College Football is more quiet till Fall Camp really hits the door.

Just lay back, rest your balls in some cold water, drink a beer and have fun with your girl.

Ruiz is just more quiet now, since the NCAA came snooping around and ****ed him off regarding the Cavinders recruitment. He's also going after the NCAA in court so he's avoid any additional conflict and being a snake in the grass there. Money is there. Mas, Soffer, Ruiz, Lambert, etc. Definitely over $10M total NIL in football.

I think what you're seeing is more to do with this staff taking it more slow in regards to wanting to see what these kids are doing in their senior year. A lot of our takes are guys that took a jump from junior year to what they showed in spring practice.

Miami has been burned taking young guys that don't finish developing and were highly touted juniors only to plateau and not be that good as a senior and into college. They're definitely not committing NIL resources until they're sure about what they're going to get. The 3 stars committing are a base to the class and solid players that don't demand a lot in NIL. Once teams start getting commitments and NIL starts to dry up, the rest falls into place. Teams like Tennessee, Auburn, South Carolina, etc. and their NIL entities are taking the opposite approach... get in the big guys we can now and then find fillers with whatever is left. We'll see which strategy wins out.

We should pull a **** of a class because we're one of the few high profile recruiting/NIL teams that aren't pulling a big name QB (that I know of) where a lot of NIL commitment ends up. More to allocate elsewhere.

It was obvious she was going to step in the moment her name went on the practice facility.

This is what I call a reasonable and sensible post
