Still? Even after the post came out about duke and mensahs team are in discussions about trying to get this settled before it goes to court?
According to them it was a leak from Mensah’s people to send a signal to Miami not to move on and also signal a willingness to negotiate with Duke since Duke holds all the cards apparently
 
Correct. In Germany, when the brothers inherited the business, the had a disagreement over whether they should sell tobacco. The split into aldi nord and aldi sud (north/south). Aldi nord is what we know as Trader Joe’s, and aldi sud is what we know as aldi. Most nations get one or the other, but we have both. It is why there is so much crossover on the products they sell


I expected this from @Bender ...
 
From the Duke board:

"Decades ago I was a young trial attorney for the Army Corps of Engineers who was fortunate to be entrusted with a number of really big cases in federal court. One of the Commanders I had was a Bird Colonel on his way to becoming a General. He taught me the difference between a "mission" case and a case that was just about "money".

For Duke this case is about "mission" for the sanctity of its Program and as well as the sanctity of contracts which it has . For Menseh it's just about the "money" he makes if he wins. That is a big advantage driving Duke. Duke will have a lot of staying power and can and will afford to stay in the fight all the way through Arbitration and beyond if necessary."

Interesting discussion and recent news. I'm not supportive at all for Duke to settle for just money. If it's money and Mensah not playing in the Fall anywhere, I'm cool with it. If Duke just rolls over, takes a few million, and calls it a day, with us playing Miami in the Fall against Mensah, then like others have said, I'm out.

Duke must take a stand against Mensah's self-centered, narcissistic, and egregious behavior. Anything less than him not playing in college next year is unacceptable, imho.

As the old saying goes “you got to stand for something or you will fall for anything” I surely hope Duke stands up and doesn’t settle. As a fan I will be thoroughly disappointed if they settle for just money because that’s what created this mess in the first place!


Interesting opinions on their board. The majority seem to want him to pay for ******** them at the last minute by not being able to play anywhere this upcoming season. Many want $$. One guy even factored in the cost of them losing out on the CFP $$ they may make next year with him as their QB (that's a laugh!). They want him humiliated and want him to publicly admit wrongdoing. Oh, and they want to see Miami suffer.......

Some crazy stuff over their...
About what I would expect from a CFB message board…
 
No that is not true.

It rains more in Miami (by inches of precipitation) than almost any other city in the country.

Also, Publix is overrated and grossly overpriced. The only reason to shop at Publix is the BOGOs and even those are fading in South Florida in favor of BTGO (buy two get one) or buy one get 50% off.


Soooo...when I got up here to ATL, I found out that Georgia has a law that if you do a BOGO, you have to give one for half-price. Thus, we never have to buy the full BOGO at Publix anymore.

Which is why Publix started using the "Buy 2, Get 1" special, to defeat the law in Georgia. But they seem to like it enough to use it in Florida too.

They’re emotional and delusional and once this gets out of a state court they’re finished and that’s assuming no state judge follows the law. After the 29th Mensah needs to simply enroll at Miami, regardless. Duke can’t stop it.
 
I don't know if it's there anymore. But right on Miami Gardens and 441, behind the dunkin donuts, there was a Jamaican bakery that had the best.
Mr. Nice Mon if I remember correctly. It was Jamaican/Chinese. It was on either Ives Dairy or Miami Gardens and 441. They’d have the “ Hot Bread Now” neon sign. Best Coco bread I’ve ever had.

Pretty interesting that Germany has produced two sibling rivalries that gave us global billion dollar companies. Sounds pretty similar to Adidas/Puma.
 
And another one:

"Well theoretically DM could play for someone else if the Arbitration is completed before next season and the Arbitrator found for DM on that point. However, he likely could not participate in Spring Practice because the Arbitration is unlikely to be completed in time - especially given the amount of discovery as to tampering, etc. that Duke will likely seek. I think it unlikely that DM will succeed in Arbitration, particularly if he loses the PI.

For all practical purposes I think DM is toast if he loses on the PI. Inter alia, Miami will likely move on and hope to cut their losses re tampering that likely will be disclosed in discovery."

---------------------
Many of these people are very sure they will win the PI. they seem to believe there is a mountain of evidence against Mensah and Miami that will bury this case...
