They're definitely legit. Might as well add them to the list along with Manzo's.

I thought a TRO was only good for 10days unless an injunction was filed…

Yeah they’re mad and threatening not to donate and they’re demanding that the Duke side insist that Mensah agree not to play against Duke in any games next season. Lol they’re insane. Their charade is over if this goes up to appeals or if Mensah simply enrolls at Miami in my opinion.

It is. It was going beyond that and was moved up to the 29th to meet the 10 day limit.

From the Duke board:
Poster #1:
"Decades ago I was a young trial attorney for the Army Corps of Engineers who was fortunate to be entrusted with a number of really big cases in federal court. One of the Commanders I had was a Bird Colonel on his way to becoming a General. He taught me the difference between a "mission" case and a case that was just about "money".
For Duke this case is about "mission" for the sanctity of its Program and as well as the sanctity of contracts which it has . For Menseh it's just about the "money" he makes if he wins. That is a big advantage driving Duke. Duke will have a lot of staying power and can and will afford to stay in the fight all the way through Arbitration and beyond if necessary."
Poster #2:
Interesting discussion and recent news. I'm not supportive at all for Duke to settle for just money. If it's money and Mensah not playing in the Fall anywhere, I'm cool with it. If Duke just rolls over, takes a few million, and calls it a day, with us playing Miami in the Fall against Mensah, then like others have said, I'm out.
Duke must take a stand against Mensah's self-centered, narcissistic, and egregious behavior. Anything less than him not playing in college next year is unacceptable, imho.

As the old saying goes “you got to stand for something or you will fall for anything” I surely hope Duke stands up and doesn’t settle. As a fan I will be thoroughly disappointed if they settle for just money because that’s what created this mess in the first place!
Interesting opinions on their board. The majority seem to want him to pay for ******** them at the last minute by not being able to play anywhere this upcoming season. Many want $$. One guy even factored in the cost of them losing out on the CFP $$ they may make next year with him as their QB (that's a laugh!). They want him humiliated and want him to publicly admit wrongdoing. Oh, and they want to see Miami suffer.......
Some crazy stuff over there...

Here's a good one;
"For the Duke administration, on the off-chance you read this:
I implore you to really embrace that this moment is bigger than just DM.
After Duke beat Virginia to win the ACCCG, DUKE was at the forefront of college football. DUKE forced the conversation, and actively resulted in the change to the playoffs for the next year. The Duke team did that - not Alabama, not Georgia, not Miami - Duke. A school whose prior legal football case was arguing they were so bad they should remove a game off the schedule.
This case is about 2 things:
1. The big boys don’t get to do whatever they want. They don’t get to bully their way across legal boundaries to make their teams better. There is an ethical component to this - doing things the right way. Duke is building their program the right way - if the system is one where the big boys get to do whatever they want, there is no longer a point of fielding a football team.
2. Duke is an institution of learning - and it’s time they help DM learn what a signed contract means and the subsequent consequences for walking back on your word, both as a man and in a legal agreement sense. And by all means, this is also a lesson to the rest of CFB - Duke is not to be trifled with, and Duke will not roll over simply because you have a bigger wallet.
Duke took a risk on Mensah and gave him a contract that made him more money in two years than most people see in a lifetime. Generational, life-changing wealth.
Duke is willing and able to give players fair deals - all they ask is they live up to their end of the bargain.
As such, Duke should continue to pursue all avenues to ensure previously signed contracts are enforced.
Duke has the opportunity once again to shake the college football landscape - to offer clarity and guidance in an era of chaos. Manny, Nina, President Price - please see this though to its legal conclusion. This is about Duke, the future of the program, and the future of college football. Leadership isn’t easy and is the path less traveled. Don’t go easy into the good night - seize the opportunity to once again put Duke at the forefront of college football."
