I’m curious if there was a full settlement offer put on the table what standing would Duke have to proceed? Their only damages are going to be monetary so pay and GTFO of there?

For the lawyers on here, can a school add financial penalties in excess of the buyout? Mensah's theoretical buyout currently is $4M, but could a school in the future insert language so that the buyout penalty is worth far more than the value of the contract...i.e. $40M or $400M?

I'm not a lawyer but I've dealt with contracts and agents in college and been reading all of these case studies on the Mensah situation and pretty much any other comparable situation I have found.

Seems pretty consistent that $4M is the cap set on money owed because that's the market value they agreed to in the arm's length transaction. Some have suggested an avenue in NC courts for treble damages (triple) if it were to fall in the unfair and deceptive trade practices act. Which is unlikely.

Why would Duke fail where Washington succeeded? Is the contractual language different in any way?

Lsu had other options at that point. I.e. Leavitt, so wasnt willing to pay off the other school. Miami has nothing and is desperate. Desperate times requires desperate measures.

This is obviously the big fear here. If he doesnt want the headache and just returns to Duke like Williams did. We would really be screwed

This is what representation and lawyers are for. Mensah doesn't have to do anything. Our lawyers and his representation will handle everything.
 
Manny and Duke on why they are dragging this out:

Yes, but it’s still a stressful situation and he can easily tell Heitner he wants to reverse course.

Sure but if he wants the raise he's gonna get to come to Miami, it'll be worth the stress.

This also isn't gonna drag out. Heitner already said the next date is Feb 2nd and may get a date before that.

I'm also curious if Williams returned to UW because he situation at LSU changed and that in turn made him hesitant to proceed. Mensah has already went further down the path then Williams since he had his lawyer(s) contest the TRO but Mensah also has a set spot lined up already.

Lol, at this Dook blowhard.

He went on and on about how FSU and Clemson had no chance of forcing a settlement because the GoR was rock solid.

What his arrogance missed was that political tides behind that desire to escape the ACC were far stronger than a signed agreement cooked up in a backroom deal with ESPN by a commissioner with major skeletons in his closet.

Same pompous clown before Monday night's game:

Nobody outside Tobacco Road respected the ACC before Miami made it the National Championship game — and nothing has changed that fact.

The Canes will take all of the ACC's $20M CFP share and laugh on the way out of the door of this **** conference

It’s going to be just like when a coach signs a contract with a school then bails to another school - we give Mensah the $$ to buy out his NIL deal with Duke and he plays for UM. Duke can absolutely FO tho with crying about it when they did the same thing to Tulane when they got him.
