That’s the definition of pay for play.
you would be violating a court order and opening yourself up to significant liability.
TRO's are ruled on quickly. This was the right call. Mensah will be a Cane unless Mensah doesn't want to be here.
If this happens whats the reprecussion for Duke? Didnt Wisconson do this and nothing happened?
I think it may have already done that. Especially, if Duke initially was going to "work" with Mensah and then pivoted to a position that its counsel should have advised had no success on the merits; which would likely present a larger negative lens on Duke. Far more than its coach that has difficulty enunciating words with the letter "s"without creating a splash zone up front.
Can someone smarter than me explain why this contract is not binding? Is it a "contract" exclusively for NIL rights? Does Miami have to pay damages or something for the extra year Mensah would've played there?
That would be hilarious if Duke actually used a former player, now at a rival school within the conference, to promote their football. I can see the promo now
“Duke University football, where we get you ready to play meaningful games at other schools. Just like an FCS school but only better”.

An application for a TRO in this context is akin to throwing a Hail Mary to Bauman from your own 20. It’s all for optics.
It's a hellluva gig if you can get it
I don’t believe there was ever a court order in the Lucas case as I don’t believe UW filed for an injunction.
But assuming the judge in the Mensah case informed Duke that they must enter his name into the transfer portal, failing to do that would be a violation of a court order, the Duke University (probably the President or AD or both) would be held in contempt for court resulting in a fine. If the violation continued it can also result in jail time until the violation is cured.
But no TRO to prohibit him from enrolling at Miami for some reason. So he can technically enroll prior to there even being a hearing on the prelim?
So best case scenario Mensah to Miami at a later date?
So can he unenroll and enroll in classes at UM for the spring or not? Looks like we will get him either way but Manny may **** us for spring??
Word on the street is Mensah left Duke because he was uncomfortable taking showers while Manny watched

Isn’t there a b ball game tonight at Watsco?
Probably a good game to be a at?
Probably a good game to be a at?
Just pay his sister.
Manny has always struck me as rather flamboyant. There may be some truth to this
.
I think he’s gonna have to pull a Lucas
It’s stupid. They want a contract with a third party to be enforced for specific performance with players at Universities who say that the players are not employees. Pendulum has swung and nobody wants to be on that side.
