This is Mensah's agent. If he delivers Mensah to Miami, I will scrub my twitter of all tweets referring to him as Temu Vanilla Ice after he went to Duke.
 
Too many posts to slug through, but curious if anyone has posted that this is the guy they wanted all along?
 
Schools enter into license agreements with players which grants a school the exclusive rights to use a player's NIL. This is what has been reported with respect to Mensah. He entered into a 2 yr license agreement granting Duke the exclusive right to use his NIL. Duke holds Mensah's NIL rights.

That said, it seems like there might be some momentum behind this. If so that means UM has identified a work-around. The work around might very well entail simply throwing a **** load of money at the situation (which I support) to both buy Mensah out of the his NIL agmt with Duke and pay him a large some of NIL or revenue share money on our end to come to UM.
Right. What I’m saying is the school cannot dictate who he does a NIL deal with or doesn’t. The school can’t manipulate who he does or doesn’t sign an NIL deal with. He couldn’t sign a rev share deal to profit off of his NIL generated by Miami in this case.

Mensah could independently seek out an NIL deal with say Coca-Cola. Duke can’t swoop in and cancel the deal. Duke owns his ACC, TV rights. It’s why you have pro athletes who are in leagues sponsored by Nike, and they have Adidas deals. Like the Timberwolves own Anthony Edwards rights for NBA and Timberwolves promotions. But he can make his own deals independently from that. Hence why he’s an Adidas athlete in a league sponsored by Nike. If Duke tries to make that their argument it’s doa the minute it gets to court.
