The problem is he signed away his NIL rights to Ruiz and his company. So, yes he could come here, and he would keep whatever money he earned there. But if Ruiz refused to allow him out of his NIL deal, he’d not be able to make anything off his NIL since he obviously can’t fulfill his agreements to Ruiz if he were in Knoxville

Did he actually sign a nil deal or was it verbally?

Don’t think that’s the way that works. While we all know it happens, you aren’t supposed to use NIL to entice a recruit. If FM wants to go somewhere else and Ruiz tries to use a contract, then Miami basically admits they enticed him with an NIL deal. All of these deals are most likely contingent upon the player enrolling at the school.

Ruiz “doesn’t work” for the school. It could be a similar deal as Nico’s where he signs his NIL rights to Ruiz and whatever companies he might specify but doesn’t mention Miami at all. So basically if he transfers Ruiz doesn’t have to give him work so he can’t make money off NIL.

But we don’t actually know the details.

Ruiz isn’t going to pay if FM isn’t at Miami regardless if he doesn’t mention Miami. That’s the point of it all. Your last sentence of first paragraph is correct- FM can transfer or go somewhere else and make money there.

That's the "what have I done" face if I've ever saw it.

You know it has to sting with UT sitting at #3 and the o line developing and turning out to be as good as they are. That was his biggest reason for going to Miami. He said they could develop him and get him ready for the NFL.

Boosters aren't supposed to be involved at all either.

I thought Francis played HS ball in a state that doesn’t allow him to sing yet. Nico plays in California which allows him to sign and still lay HS.

I could be wrong on Francis but it is different depending on the state you play HS.

It’s the same as Nico, he signed with Spyre, they’re not attached to UT, (wink wink nudge nudge) but we all know if he decided to stay in Cali and play for USC Spyre would not be marketing him.

He signed with Ruiz’s company, which stipulates he do certain things related to Ruiz’s company to get paid, and if he doesn’t, he makes no money. Ruiz will not make those options available if he leaves, but like Nico, if he’s made money already, it’s his regardless of what he does.

I believe the question is even tho he signed with Ruiz’s company in FL, can HS athletes get paid via NIL in FL? Bc they can in Cali. Which would mean Nico could’ve already accepted some form of payment and FM would not have - a much easier contract to void.
