The kind of kid you'd want to marry your daughter
Navarro in his The Athletic article about the game wrote that Miami is expected to sign Mensah this week.
You don't have to be 6'2" if you are 2 steps ahead of the DB on a go route.
Hope there is some way forward that keeps lawyers on the sideline. Here's an AI take on possible legal implications:
- Breach of Contract: Mensah is likely in breach of his two-year, $8 million contract by leaving the university before fulfilling its terms. Contracts are legally binding, and simply entering the transfer portal does not void them.
- Exclusive NIL Rights: The contract reportedly grants Duke exclusive rights to Mensah's NIL. Duke believes only it has the power to cancel this agreement.
- Withholding Future NIL Opportunities: The primary point of leverage for Duke is the ability to withhold consent for other schools or collectives to use Mensah's NIL rights. This could prevent him from earning revenue-sharing money or signing new NIL deals.
- Potential Lawsuits: The situation could lead to litigation.
- Against Mensah: Duke could sue Mensah for monetary damages resulting from the breach.
- Against Miami (Tortious Interference): Duke could possibly pursue a claim of tortious interference against the University of Miami (or its associated collective) if it actively recruited Mensah into breaching his contract. Such claims in North Carolina could potentially result in triple damages.
- Negotiation or Settlement: Instead of a protracted legal battle, the situation may be resolved through negotiation. Mensah's new school might agree to a buyout, with the value of his remaining contract potentially being deducted from that school's revenue-share pool under future NCAA rules.
This board is enough of a cesspool. We don't need long nonsense from AI.
Is it nonsense though? All of it?
It's not even worth discussing. Nobody knows what his contract looked like, especially not AI.
We shall see. I'll be happy when he's enrolled at UM and taking classes.
I need this announced by Friday to help the pain.
They have the same leg to stand on that Wisconsin had with Lucas…and he was playing with Miami last year in a CFP final.
We really rolling with Emory if he isn't announced by Friday?
Stop please
Hope you're right.
Post natty PTSD , excuse me
Considering tomorrow is the last day to enroll, we’ll know before Friday.
They can enroll after that day. School can and will make exceptions. That’s not a ncaa deadline
Duke is not going to fight any harder than Wisconsin did. They're not going to ruin the kids eligibility and have that on their image when they did the same thing to get him from Tulane.
They'll likely settle for a few million $ and let it go and be done with it.
Mensah will be in the orange and green regardless.
