My assumption is that Miami is giving him $6M + will cover all costs relating to the Duke contract. My guess is that Miami and Duke will negotiate and we’ll never hear how it came out.

if Duke retains his NIL rights......meaning Miami can't (let's keep pretending the money is for the marketing of their Name, Image, and Likeness) promote him....what exactly is the $6M for?

I think there's a decent take in the Miami thread ... basically he signed a big boi contract... he's gonna find out what happens when you do that... it just depends on how punitive Duke is feeling..

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.

I was on a wrestling mat since I was 5 and up until then me and my older brother beat the crap out of each other wrestling in the living room, mom always heard crashing and started yelling at us. But a lot of local youth teams will let your kid come early to watch, learn and sometimes participate with kids close to their size. If he just wants to do that for awhile and not attend meets, do that until he wants to. Or, if he was like me and wants trial by fire, let him compete and just remind him if a kid is more experienced or bigger, he is still early on. Key is don't let them get too discouraged and try to gently teach through the mistakes at first.

My experience is kids can be a sponge at a young age if it's for them. That said, stick to absolute basics and doing them well. Single and double legs on your feet (emphasize level change drills early) with a couple simple set ups like inside collar ties, wrist ties and head position. At Graham we would call out the setup/tie, move and takedown so we could do it on demand, the more advanced kids usually could pick it up early on after repetition.

If you keep any sort of pulse on it and talk to the coaches, you'll get it as you go. Who knows, maybe you'll get roped into coaching and that's when the real fun starts haha. But you'll pick up the sport quicker than you think, my dad was the same way and now he is an avid fan that watches all the college meets and knows what he's talking about despite never having wrestled himself.
