This is going to do WONDERS for their recruiting, and future NIL deals. You keep going, Duke.

this is like wisconsin thinking they got one over an athlete when...

 

[RVACane]

This guy may be some savant on ip matters, but he is out to ******* lunch on some pretty basic labor&employment tenets.

Yeah, like employment law is not remotely what I know and even I know courts are highly unlikely to enforce a restrictive covenant saying someone can’t work anywhere but at Duke. And he’s not even an employee.

 

[jtwist89]

This is how you repay the QB that brought you an ACC championship. I couldn’t imagine us doing something like this if the roles were reversed. Imagine ******** over Tony if he wanted to go elsewhere.

 

[RozayCane]

I think it’s insanely dirty that the judge made that ruling and then said oh btw. I’m a booster/season ticket holder, I shouldn’t be a part of this anymore.

Like did you forget that at first?

Smfh.. yeah that’s insane. Honestly don’t think that case should even be heard in that state.

 

[Dr. House]

It's already been said, this will probably result in a settlement because A) Duke can't keep Mensah unless they admit pay for play, which is illegal and B) Duke can't keep Mensah cause they'd have to admit that he is an employee, which is also illegal by NCAA rules and probably opens another box of legal matter because of the lack of an enforceable contract.

I pulled copies of the motion for reconsideration and affidavit filed by mensah, if theres a way to post them here

 

[clg003]

Smfh.. yeah that’s insane. Honestly don’t think that case should even be heard in that state.

I think he ruled that way because, if he lifted both tro the case would have been effectively over before the next judge got his eyes on it.

 

[JD08]

Think about the self-destructive pettiness we've seen the last couple of months. First, you have ND declining their seniors a last opportunity to play because they were pouting about not being chosen for the ball, now we have Duke telling recruits and transfers to think twice before going there because they'll stab you in the back if you ever make them butthurt.

non competes are generally unenforceable and on top of that, theyre usually limited to a geographic distance that is reasonable and 1000+ miles isnt reasonable.

[hoops156]

i got an alert from work as well.

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

I also truly think having an entire team of 21-23yr olds battling 18-19yr olds plays a part

Definitely plays a part we’ll see if they sustain it this year

 

[PIPO]

@Cribby - looks like you need to step up your troll game on X.

That’s a pretty solid job there on this tweet.

 

[El Orange]

I had a feeling that the entire TRO was a way for Duke to buy some time to change his mind, while allowing themselves to still speak with the kid. Should never have been granted.

Thought the same

 

[TheOriginalCane]

how long can we keep your niece enrolled there to see if we can keep a good thing going?

I'll see if she is interested in grad school....

 

[TheOriginalCane]

so you see - he prayed to his lord and savior jesus from hialeah where his sunday school degree was transformed into a JD degree even without the ability to ever be accepted into Duke Law (sort of like turning water into cafecito)

It's soooo funny...but it's true...

Never in a million years would I list, as my alma mater, the school of my third most-important degree (out of 3), and the degree I don't even use anymore...

"Yes, I'm a sports attorney (with a graduate degree in divinity) from Duke..."

Just a bit of clever wording, and all of a sudden he's DUKE LAW!

 

[LMCane]

His X profile is laughable.

He doesn't mention that is is a Carson-Newman alum, or a North Carolina CENTRAL alum.

He just allows you to believe that his "graduate degree in Divinity" somehow transforms him into a Duke lawyer.

Hey, I took a continuing education course at Harvard once, maybe I should just say I'm a "Harvard alum". Actually, I think that George Santos did something similar...

I did a two year graduate level certificate program at Harvard CLE and that is what I put on the resume

not Harvard.

Is it they don’t rotate or never had the depth to rotate guys? In this offense blocking is a a must and alot of guys aren’t willing. All the guys that were depth are gone because they wasn’t good enough. 10, 3 and 15 prove they’ll play you if they trust you , no matter your age.

They should have played 3 more (pun intended) down the stretch IMO. Kid made some plays in some games for us. He was our only deep threat and was not used down the line
