2026 Portal QBs



This isn’t like the ACC GOR where losing your tv rights is everything because that’s what another conference would want.

These players have no real NIL value. NIL is just what the schools are calling pay for play so the players aren’t employees.

So Duke getting your NIL value generated is not going to matter to any school.

And Duke seems to know that, hence the provision where no other school can pay you for your NIL rights. That’s a back door way of trying to create an employee non-compete clause.

Don’t know why that would be enforceable? What does Duke care if another school pays you for something, as long as Duke gets the rights to it?

The legal stuff is tricky. I do think Darren Heitner is Miami's outside counsel on NIL-related stuff, so I'm sure he's informed them of the NIL and legal ramifications.

Let's hope the threat of legal action and the contract language doesn't scare Mensah into staying put. It seemed to work on Demon Williams.
My understanding the NIl isn’t the issue it’s the rev share contract that can be a problem . But Duke is leaking NIL stuff
 
Hey Sorsby, Leavitt and all the other QBs:

Mensah is here....we're good.

Only court this matters is the court of public opinion

It’s worth it to schools to cry about it but pretty clear they don’t have anything

This might be the worst comment I’ve seen on this board—and that’s saying something. It honestly feels like a lot of you would’ve rather lost in round one just so we could “focus” on the portal instead of playing for a national championship.
