Hold the **** up. Did this guy just claim if Mensah is drafted, Duke could retain his NIL rights? So his NFL team and himself would just have to deal with it?

This is mental illness.

Actually, I think that’s a fair reading of the agreement. That’s how one-sided it is (and how bad his counsel was). The way I read it Mensah could declare for the draft/get drafted and Duke would have a right (not an obligation) to cancel the agreement. But it theoretically could continue paying him and retain the exclusive right to his NIL even while he was playing in the NFL. It’s essentially an adhesion contract sort of like your cell phone contract or the one Uber drivers have to sign.

Curt Cignetti was seen as building the team the right away and Deion Sanders was lambasted. lol
Similar to Miami n the portal at times to.
Its just funny how narratives can be pushed.

Agreed, and I am no Sanders fan.

I was one of those guys who thought overwhelming talent was required to win championships at the college level regardless of coaching but Cignetti single-handedly proved that theory wrong..he was the better coach by a mile on every game day for them n they never lost. Kudos to him, legendary accomplishment (Unless it comes out they were indeed cheating somehow)

He was not a mile better vs Miami, better, but not overwhelming at all.

I feel like we were thoroughly outcoached but that’s just my opinion we were severely more talented then them. Every time they needed a crucial play they had the perfect call n executed perfectly I mean they were going for it on 4th & 5s n everything in my body was expecting them to convert. Missed punt assignments, penalties, fielding a punt **** near inside the 5, all things well
Coached teams don’t do & why Indiana didn’t lose a game this year. This yr was a peak coaching job on their part I’ll just tip the cap n move on to next year.

Like I said I would love to see that NFL v Duke court battle.

Carlos Ledo does a good job here explaining this lawsuit:

 
I won’t feel good about it until he is here and practicing, but got to get this done. Could be our most consistent offense yet with this guy. Stronger arm but will play within the system as well. Contrary to most of this board I think Dawson is pretty good. We can do a lot with Mensah and the weapons he will have. If the defense only regresses to stay top 15 this team could be better as a whole which is what I thought this year was going into the season compared to last year.

Yes, both coaches were heavy on the portal, but the results are different. Deion had some flash at the beginning but that fell away, especially now with his son graduated. Cignetti just won the national championship with a 16-0 season in the modern era.

And as another poster mentioned, Cignetti brought a number of players from JMU with them. Those players were familiar with each other, the system and the coaches.

I’m not a Sanders hater. His personality rubs some people the wrong way, but I think he’s a good coach. I don’t know how good a program builder he is. Does he grind on the recruiting trail like Mario or other recruiters?

It will be interesting to see if Cignetti can continue success and keep Indiana at a consistent 10-win level. Indiana tasted the ultimate success in college football and doesn’t want that taste to go away. They will spend the money as evidenced by Cignetti’s contract extension to over $10 million a year. I think he’ll have a nice long run in Indiana.

I will say, we have been really level headed about this NC loss. I’m actually surprised. But maybe that’s also the years of mediocrity coming into play. I for one considered this a successful year after we won against A&M in the first playoff game

We just ran into the well coached, disciplined team in Indiana and we still had our chances

Agreed. They were the best team all year, unfortunately.

I trust Mario to get us back to where we need to be. Even in our playoff wins, they were close games that honestly could've gone either way. I believe Mario is building a monster that will soon be running teams out of the building.
