I’m sure the school can and WILL accommodate all of the transfer portal players we will be getting in next few days
He just saw what the football team did/does for the school and he’s not going to sabotage the success!!!!
I just want some Bat Signals
Mensah
Wilson
Sloan
Davis
And duke Wr
I agree, typically they cannot but also the timing just doesnt make sense. Pretty sure they walked this into chambers in NC State Court, a Judge holding Duke season tickets signed it to preserve the status quo, set a hearing in 10 days (pretty sure I saw the hearing is Feb 2), and recused himself. The hearing in 10 days will tell the bigger picture to either convert the TRO into a temporary injunction or dismiss the TRO and they can fight about money in State Court.
I was thinking same thing
I’m no lawyer but couldn’t Mensah go to a Miami court and file/ask for Injunction so he can register and attend school
To me on its face it seems like his rights are being violated!
Bc Duke has been skirting the line of pretending to be above board on NCAA rules while having a clearly shady clause in their NIL deal that expressly goes against NCAA rules.
Yes, but it has an expiration date and does not have to be ordered by the next judge. As has been pointed out, the February 2 date of the next hearing (assuming it doesn't get rescheduled) is already beyond the 10-day duration of a TRO. I do not know if the "next" judge in the process has been assigned yet, but you could make an effort to communicate that time is of the essence, and the (approximate) 14 day waiting period could cause irreparable harm to progress towards a degree if he cannot enroll for the spring semester, when he is ALREADY allowed to enter the Transfer Portal.
I could certainly see the next judge choosing NOT to follow the TRO, and signaling that intent prior to 2/2.
Jeff Samardzija (2-time AA, Belitnikoff finalist), without the fastball.
Seriously - sr year stats are almost identical.
So when this is all said and done how much is mensah gonna cost us ?!? Lol
Usually, state courts are deferential to the actions of other state courts that handled the case first.
Would be nice to see JoJo move to DB.
I don't know how you did it, but it works!
If you recall, when the Xavier Lucas case began, I OPINED that it MIGHT be possible for an incredibly well-drafted NIL/Rev-Share deal to "buy out" a student-athlete's right to transfer. But you would have to have a specific clause that addresses this right, and separate consideration to pay for such a buyout.
OTHERWISE, in the absence of an explicit buyout of transfer rights, the student-athlete is free to transfer under the SUPERIOR rules of the NCAA.
You can't make it a "breach of an NIL contract" to take an otherwise legal action (transferring) that the NCAA has given to every student-athlete.
Good pull!
I don't disagree, brother. Unfortunately, you need a least of these catching passes for you.
We won't really be able to take the next step until we get at least one of these types back there in the defensive backfield room. Really missed on Koi Perich for this very reason.
Him and Dunnigan both. Dunnigan seems to be boys with almost everyone already.
that’s what I am saying!!!!
You could be worried, the rest of us aren’t.
Do we know if Mensah has litigation counsel? Heitner is obviously great on the substantive NIL related points, but it’s hope that he also has experienced trial counsel advising him.
Yes. Could’ve been done last Friday. Instead Duke wants to try saving face and take it to court for the same end result, just to delay and waste everyone’s time. Like the courts have nothing better to do than decide whether or not a college kid can transfer schools.
Depends... do you care if a few billionaires or this billionaire institution have to pay a few million to Duke? If not, not worried at all.
