If Duke gets their way, no. Pre-lawsuit Duke wanted Miami to pay it out of the NIL Rev Share pool so that it functions like a cap hit. Duke also said they want the CSC to provide additional monitoring of 3rd party NIL deals via NILGo.
3rd Party NIL deals are supposed to be at fair market rates for actual use. There are concerns that teams are promising someone like Sorsby 6m total comp (1 mil rev share + 5 mil 3rd party - made up numbers). But then not doing anything that would justify earning 5m, other than playing football. There aren't enough car dealerships or team store autograph signings in Lubbock to actually earn $5m. Repeat for every dude on the roster. Texas Tech has not signed their CSC agreement yet... shocker.
Duke's position is Miami should take the cap hit which would limit their ability to pay Mensah or others. Then additional monitoring to ensure Miami is not using 3rd party NIL money to circumvent rev sharing limits. This is a national debate right now not specific to Miami or Duke as the CSC is attempting to come online and start handling enforcement.

The good news for Miami vs say Lubbock, or any number of the ****sville towns most schools are in, is that Miami is the 6th largest metro area in the entire country. A lot easier to show the value of an NIL deal in such a market, not to mention when you are a huge national brand like Miami.
Why would ANY player not coming out of HS sign a 2 year contract Ever?
Seriously it makes literally zero sense.
Mensah if held to these high damages would literally have been paid $0 NET for 1 season of play at Duke. It's insane. Limits your mobility with ZERO benefit because that school can exit the contract with ZERO damages basically. It's a fully one sided 2 yr deal with no repercuyfron the school, on the player for not holding up their end
That's one of the reasons the damages SHOULD be substantially lower than $4M imo.

You realize we're talking the Miami Hurricanes, right? He would be hated even if we recruited him and he's started as a true freshman here. Duke's fanbase is a drop in the bucket of hate he would receive by simply be associated with us.This is a messpoor 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
Duke has no legal basis to SUE Darian Mensah and it is very clear once you read the actual AGREEMENT that he signed. Duke is claiming IRREPARABLE HARM in their filing ... however the agreement itself was posted on TOS and Section VI has a clause that states that in the event of the agreement being breached the maximum damages that can be assessed would be the value of the agreement (ie, $4M for one season). Therefore it seems that worst case Miami would pay the $4M value of the contract and have his NIL rights for 2026 ... then pay whatever the agreement is for Mensah. Any legal action by Duke seems like frivolous litigation.
Couple reasons. First, he had poor representation who did put an out clause for him in there. But maybe the kid told his agent he is fine with it because he'd get $8M
Second, supposedly the family has been through a lot and was even homeless at one point. When you've been through that and you get offered $8M for 2 years, I can't fault anybody for not thinking about other options after a year.
Yes. I think the board understands this. It’s still a pain in the *** and given what happened Monday a stressful time for us Canes fans.
One thing i appreciate about Duke as Mensah packs his things for 70 degree weather with a winter storm approaching the Carolinas, is that Duke degree does wonders for folks lives lol they be having folks in high places all over the place
Question: is Dukes entire case that Mensah breached his contract contingent on that Liam Blutman tweet?
$4mm would be a windfall for Duke. I wouldn’t offer it a dime. I have myriad very good reasons for that, but I’m not going down that rabbit hole and losing my day. I don’t know the licensing fee payment schedule, but I doubt Duke paid him in advance for 2026. UM will finance a nuisance value settlement; but, beyond that, I’d tell these ***** to pound sand.
I’m not an attorney but what authority would a county/state judge in North Carolina have over an individual and their educational dealings in Florida? And by educational dealings I mean enrolling at Miami.
