[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 875516, member: 2426"] Miami is another school that apparently has boosters paying "NIL" money for players to attend. Reading through the Florida statutes: So it is a violation of Florida law for an athlete to receive money to attend a particular school. It is also illegal for a person affiliated with the school to provide NIL money to them. Is John Ruiz "unaffiliated" with the University of Miami? I would say that he is affiliated with the school, or at least with the school's athletics department. If so, the deals that he has been giving Miami players violate Florida law. There are plenty of ways the NCAA could enforce sanctions against schools for failing to monitor boosters and/or directly directing such deals without violating different state's laws. Even if the NCAA violates a state law, the school would have to file a lawsuit against the NCAA to receive any relief from NCAA sanctions. I am probably wrong, but I doubt the NCAA is going to take any real action against any of this. They might have pomp and circumstance, but they won't do anything of substance. If I were reading a crystal ball, I would say that in 20 years, the NCAA will not exist. A small portion of schools will turn into an actual professional football league loosely associated with the school. The rest will split into multiple college athletics associations. Another 20 years after that, the professional league will probably totally disassociate from the schools. The multiple college associations will be merging, and the schools that started the professional leagues will be forming new college athletic football teams. So in 40 years, we will probably be at the situation we should have been in 40 years ago: An amateur system of college athletics and a professional system for athletes who want to go pro but aren't 3 years removed from high school.
