[Agreement Reached] Miami Emerges As Favorite For Duke Transfer QB Darian Mensah/Plus hidden menu items at Publix, Greatest Wrestlers debate

[Hufftwoseven]

Can someone ELI5 for me?

No school can deny a player from transferring. If they want to retain his NIL rights, they will just be paying him to play for someone else? That someone else would just not be able to pay them in NIL?

Duke tried to pull a Wisconsin on Mensah by throwing big contract bullcrap around to scare him into leaving for the two-year duration of the contract. Because he ain’t scurred and is leaving anyway, Duke’s attorneys ran to court and got a TRO to try to stop it. The TRO was granted as to him enrolling in another school, but not as to him entering the portal. Also, judge is being replaced because he’s a Duke booster. Hearing on Feb 2 with new judge.

We attorneys all agree this is just delaying the inevitable outcome, which is that Duke / NC State Courts cannot prevent Mensah from getting an education. UM will pay the damages ($4M) and Mensah will come here, and hopefully in time for spring ball.

If it turns out we can't pay him NIL, can we just give him McDonald's bags full of cash like SEC schools did in the good 'ol days?

I bet the NCAA and Acc is just loving this stunt by Duke lol

ACC to Duke

"Miami our only shot to be represented in the playoffs! Knock it off!"

 

[Notsince1985]

Is he currently enrolled in Duke? If so, what if he drops all classes before final drop date?
Then he will not be an eligible "student athlete" at Duke. Will NIL obligations apply if he is not a Duke student?

D and Pete said when this first started that he never went back to Durham. That he was training in Tampa, so I assume he is not enrolled in classes at Duke.

I fully expect that at this point lol cause they're being petty af.


If they do not submit his paperwork for the portal, by some odd chance, then he gets to counter sue TF out of them

 

[IndayArtHauz]

So we aren’t going to get him?

 

[NASTYQUEDAWG]

Biased breakdown. You realize David McKenzie is a Dukie alum, right?

What’s up ORI?

 

[Notsince1985]

Tampered with him IN SEASON while he was playing at Tulane. That’s the funny ****.

As a Tulane alum, it wasn't funny until we beat Mesah this year with the Matzo Baller at QB.

How you think he would fit in Miami?

Doesn't matter. He'll get an exemption

 

[Notsince1985]

How you think he would fit in Miami?

The city or the school? He'll handle the city fine. He was in New Orleans for 2 years. The team? I'm sure he'll fit in and be a productive player.

Does UM still have those intersession classes during fall/winter/spring break? Just enroll Mensah in one of those.

How is the Duke Booster judge able to make any type of ruling… even if temporary before the new judge hears the case on 2/2?

Seems like he should have immediately disclosed his conflict of interest and recused himself before handing down even a temporary ruling.
