….which none of these schools want to do because they don’t wanna take on all the responsibilities that go along with making them employees(long-term disability, workman’s comp, etc.) Which is why I just don’t see this getting solved for a very long time because they don’t want to take on that burden. It’s going to take a come to Jesus moment for that to change.
I will say it again - I have no doubt that if the CFP committee told the ACC that only one ACC team could get in to the playoff an the ACC can choose it / that the Tobacco Road asswipes 100% would have put forward a 5 loss Duke team as their entry. Get us out of here and in to the B12 please.
Without having read the order denying the TRO, my guess is this is not a slam dunk for Duke as some are claiming. An element of a TRO is that a court has to find a likelihood of success on the merits. If the court didn’t find that then it doesn’t bode well for Duke . . . Also, if the contract is pay to play then it’s illegal and unenforceable 
but again haven’t read the complaint, the order, or supporting case law.

But mensah isn't playing there. They going to get a bit of money that Miami already forecasted.
The only risk is a rogue judge that either forces specific performance (which never happens) or delays this forever with an injunction vs enrollment. If either happens, it'll go through a process.
The most realistic worse case at this point is mensah enrolls in summer. Or somehow mensah changes his mind -- which has been reported as highly unlikely and would kill team culture at Duke.
If Duke goes forward with the lawsuit/case AND gets another QB in the portal, one would think they'd lose support they have in the court of public opinion.
If remember correctly.....literally the **** Wisconsin fans were saying last year.
Down to their superstar legal team blah blah
They are literally just adding sht to the contract.
If he sits or fakes injury then he has to pay legal bills and also not get paid.
Someone check the tap water for lead.
Wow.
I believe so.
Absolutely!!!!
So who is right? The Duke AD who says a TRO was issued yesterday or Heitner who says it was denied?
I'm so confused.

So what’s keeping this from being a done deal?
I honestly don't know why these reporters keep saying "enter his name into the portal."
duke is going to confirm he is no longer enrolled at the school. That's it.
The Lucas case already demonstrated that the "transfer portal" is not a legal entity.

What parts of the agreement make this “tight”?
Thanks Stew
Can UM use any of that $20 million they are getting from the CFP run to help pay a buyout or settlement?
So them entering his name has no bearing on his ability to enroll?
