Legal hearings need to be scheduled and take place - preliminary injunction is what, Feb 1? What if Duke wins that, and then there are appeals.

And Miami and Duke need to negotiate a settlement.

Hopefully soon but probably need to work it out for a while.

What outcome of those legal hearings would keep Mensa from playing for Miami next year?

It’s a done deal in the sense that Mensa will be playing in Miami for the 2026 season. The legal process you describe is long, you are correct and it has not concluded. It literally just started.
 
If Mensah agreed to injunctive relief, wouldn’t that essentially be agreeing to specific performance, which courts don’t allow? And wouldn’t that further be an attempt to create an employment agreement circumventing the current NcAA rules?
 
You can’t clearly document the relief ($4M) and then turn around and say “That was a lie! This will hurt me more than the $4M I said would be enough when we agreed and signed”.

The court isn’t there to give you a do-over on bad contract language.
It would also be argued that any relief beyond that amount is speculative and highly unlikely to be granted by the courts

Correct.

I’ve been on the Tubesteak side of these types of decisions.

Being told in open court that your contract is **** and **** your feelings is the last thing you hear before the people there grumble about your position.
 
If you want to see the docket, here it is: https://portal-nc.tylertech.cloud/a...ED9B3133C926041DBE4DF9D3B797/anon/portalembed.

No order uploaded to it as of yet. Also interesting to see that Notice of Effort they filed. In addition to filing suit, you need to also effectuate service as a Plaintiff. You can’t just file suit and demand relief via TRO without making efforts to reach the Defendant. Doing so would be an ex parte action, which is permissible in certain circumstances but not immediately apparent here.

Also, seems they’ve called, texted, and email Mensah with no noted response. So everything (as it should be) is going through his reps. Also no Notice of Apperance from Mensah’s legal team. Heitner doesn’t make it sound like it, but genuinely wondering if Mensah even had counsel at the hearing, being that they didn’t even get 24 hours notice.

Overall it makes sense they denied the TRO on portal but granted as to the rest, which deal with the merits of the case. Nowhere near enough time to brief court. Also, judge should’ve recused before all of this.
 
This is a mess 😂 poor kid gonna get so much hate from other fans and media when he on our team playing next year. We bouta be more hated from everybody hahaah

Good prep for being a QB at Miami. It would have been that way without any transfer drama.
