Sucks that the wheels are falling off but it was **** cool how he got our NIL rolling, paid for talent on multiple sports teams and likely played a large role getting other canes boosters more involved.

'NIL King's' Financial Woes Threaten UMiami Sports Future

John Ruiz, once hailed as the 'NIL king' of University of Miami sports, is now entangled in a deepening financial crisis. This crisis, if not resolved, could si

Another fun fact, it's STEVENS Institute of Technology.

Not, you know, an Institute of Technology owned by Steven...

We broke? Errrrybody say we is.

Yet checks keep getting written and cashed without bouncing. People start bull**** rumors to negatively recruit against us because they can't compete.

 

[JHallCanes]

Last years recruiting class was particularly satisfying after hearing how we were broke and our own fans were trashing the program for being behind UiF and FSU in the summer

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

With our latest golf commit, I expect our fans to claim that the Trump Empire is broke.........................








......which is not true.

We're safe though from the negative recruiting part. I'm not saying the talk won't happen, just it won't hurt much....
Canes Connection provides that buffer ....Athletes know their money is good so in the end all the talk is kinda pointless....
Like you said , No checks have bounced .....

What will the gators blame now when NIL doesn't dry up? From a fan point of view, Ruiz was a great bridge to the collective. The stadium issue was where his reach exceeded his grasp.

From the LIFW perspective, he was on to something, but focused on the wrong aspect. That claims data is immensely valuable, but not necessarily for fraud recovery.

The need is there for a list of current medications and diagnoses in the event of a medical emergency. It takes time when an elderly person goes to the hospital to find out all the current medications, any chronic diseases, allergies, recent surgeries, things like that. That can cause a delay in care for the development of a treatment plan.

I thought that’s what LifeWallet was. I figured they didn’t focus on it due to competition with firmly established services.

Seems like a simple business model with huge room for growth in an aging population. Why is no one jumping on this hard?

LifeWallet was banking on settlement money from presuit negotiation, or lawsuits. It was seeking investors to fund the operations and reap part of those rewards later.

Alas, they don't have enough recovery to be profitable.

In the future, someone will make this work, but likely with a somewhat different model.

Ruiz's money is couch cushion change for the billionaires currently funding our NIL.

 

[hoops156]

People are treating Ruiz like he is Shapiro. Certainly wouldn't label them "fans" but to each It's own.

one committed fraud and the other is being investigated for it by the DOJ

It would seem that way, but realistically, privacy and trust issues are the biggest hurdles.

Just like any number of seemingly good business ideas, the product and/or service is the easy part, getting the connections to make it all happen is the difficult part.

One did a lot more than commit fraud. If Ruiz starts trying to burn down the athletic department we can revisit.

As some one who worked, taught and consulted in this area, this type of data, when grouped with others for the patients, would be invaluable for populating and teaching AI driven treatment and outcome algorithms.

this is miami dude. everyone will turn on everyone when it gets tough. Ruiz is just another south Florida fraudster that many of us called out from day 1.
