The kids won a lot of lawsuits against the NCAA and schools because they were being screwed and the crowd of public opinion was behind them. Now these are 20 year old millionaires trying to get out of a 4 million dollar 1 year deal for a 6 million dollar 1 year deal. Particularly at QB when it’s detrimental to the school they are leaving (portal is closed so they can’t get another QB). Fuck em. Losing Mensah could be the diffference between 10-2 and a playoff bid vs 7-5. That’s media money (since the ACC pays based on ratings), playoff money, ticket and concession sales.

Agreed. I’m not siding with the players on this or siding with anyone really. Just pointing out this is normative behavior in the business world. You just dont see headlines for it every day.

That is the way the normal world works.

You break a contract, there are damages. Typically those get negotiated down but you pay legal fees to do so.

Duke's Mensah can enter portal, can't sign until injunction ruling

Duke QB Darian Mensah is permitted to enter the transfer portal, but can't enroll at another school or play football for another college team before a North Carolina judge rules on Duke's request for an injunction that would prevent him from leaving.

This will definitely be interesting to watch. Now, I just need to know what all the legal eagles here on BP think will happen. Personally, I am only proficient in Bird Law.

Question for wrestlers and wrestling dads.
I have a very young little boy that I think would enjoy the sport. He's six and has never really show much enthusiasm towards basketball or soccer but I think he might like wrestling and he certainly has the build for it.

I've started the process of looking into several "youth" teams for him to try out for. Keeping in mind, he has ZERO exposure to the rules, conditioning, fitness...etc
How young is too young for something like this? Are there places to get him introduced to the sport before he looks into one of these teams.


FWIW - my only exposure to something similar is youth swimming where they very much have a "we take kids of all levels" approach.

If you’re located in Georgia, wrestling has exploded down there…..I see their clubs throughout the Southeast as my son competes.

I’d look up local clubs in your area, and give them a call. Let them know your sons age and experience level and I’m sure they’ll have a “beginners” class for his age and size.

I was also not a “wrestling” kid, but kind of fell into it with my son who competes at a regional level now. The one thing I’ll say, is the wrestling community in general, is absolutely incredible. I’ve met the nicest and best people just through being a “wrestling dad” now.

It’s well worth it just for the culture around the sport.
