Didn’t Miami “buyout” his contract with duke? IDK how any of this works lmao

Apparently Miami can “buyout” the contract & he can leave but Duke still retains his NIL rights. Sounds like the same issue with the Washington QB who ended up staying.

Duke might be trying for some type of monetary compensation due to the situation. He sure did leave them in a bind. Their 2nd string QB already transferred out as he thought Mensah was staying at Duke. Chasing the almighty dollar is getting ugly.

Hope they win

Good. The sooner this thing crashes and burns, then MAYBE the sooner we can at least get some resemblance of structure.

I’m all for as much disruption to the system as possible to take place. The bigger the program that gets burned, the better!

Just guessing, but I think there is a good chance Mensah ends up at Miami.

Also what is interesting is that the Judge who made the ruling to allow him to enter the portal is a basketball season ticket holder.

Quote:
"Darren Heitner, Mensah’s attorney, told ESPN that Durham County (North Carolina) Superior Court Judge Michael O’Foghludha ruled from the bench Tuesday, pending a written ruling, and denied Duke’s request that Mensah be enjoined from entering the transfer portal.

Heitner said Duke is expected to enter Mensah into the transfer portal Wednesday.

“The judge, a Duke basketball season-ticket holder, and thus a booster, also recused himself from future proceedings,” Heitner said."
