KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Is Miami providing the basketball blueprint for success in the NCAA's new era?
It wasn’t Ruiz’s first big NIL splash. Ever since the NCAA loosened its famously outdated rules regarding amateurism, he had been announcing NIL deals with Hurricanes players cumulatively worth millions of dollars. Yet his deal with Pack got the most attention and even drew the ire of Alabama football coach Nick Saban.
The Cavinders signed with the Hurricanes in the spring as the team looked to get past the second round of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1992. Haley immediately established herself as the team’s leading scorer and plays over 30 minutes a game while Hanna plays 17 minutes a game off the bench.
The penalties for the infractions were relatively light — Meier served a self-imposed three-game suspension earlier in the season and the school was fined $5,000 and 1% of the basketball budget.
