One of the more completely obvious cases of tampering you will ever see......yet nothing will be done about it.

Just ditch any rules at this point if none of them are actually going to be enforced.

The rules have been ditched. Its just that OSU has the only AD still operating Iike there are rules.
And also Oregon blatantly cheated with bringing Moore back as well

I'm not sure how you can cheat bringing your own player back. You can't tamper with your own player.

They used NIL deal of $7.5mil to get him to return to school. NIL can’t be used to induce players to go to any school. It’d be no different than OSU saying they’d offer him $7.5mil to come to Columbus. Tampering is tampering. If they let him make his own decision to stay in school then that’s different, but they clearly offered him at a time when he was considering declaring

then pretty much anyone considering going pro that comes back is being induced by an NIL or rev share deal...

Do you think our 20 million dollar roster the year we won it all or the year before on TSUN's roster. Or Penn State this year. Hell or Bo this year is any different? Screaming about cheating in that case just looks like sour grapes

It seems different to me. That was his current school talking to him, rather than an outside school tossing numbers at a player before he entered the portal.

That’s a lot of money to be buried in Columbus Ohio

The answer is always simple for people who break rules and laws. Terminate one of them publicly so the rest will see repercussions. Everyone usually falls in line after that. How do we sign that @ScriptOhio? Just sayin?

Duke QB Darian Mensah changes mind, enters transfer portal

Duke QB Darian Mensah changes mind, enters transfer portal​

Duke starting quarterback Darian Mensah is entering the NCAA transfer portal.

Mensah submitted his request for transfer paperwork Friday, ahead of the midnight deadline for FBS and FCS players to enter the portal.

"This wasn't an easy decision, but after talking with my family, I believe it's in my best interest to enter the transfer portal," Mensah said in a post on X.

Miami looms as the expected favorite in Mensah's recruitment when he officially becomes available. The Hurricanes have signed transfer quarterbacks in consecutive years -- Cam Ward and Carson Beck -- and have not landed one during the two-week transfer window that opened Jan. 2.

Mensah had decided Dec. 19 to return to Duke for his redshirt junior season after exploring the possibility of entering the NFL draft. He was No. 5 in Mel Kiper Jr.'s quarterback rankings for the 2026 draft before his decision.

The quarterback was entering the second year of a two-year deal with Duke that would pay him up to $4 million in 2026. If Mensah leaves Duke, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel that his contract grants the university his exclusive name, image and likeness rights, which could prevent Mensah from earning revenue-sharing money at his next school unless the Blue Devils terminate their deal. There is not a specific buyout amount in Mensah's contract with Duke, sources told Thamel.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound redshirt sophomore from San Luis Obispo, California, transferred from Tulane to Duke after the 2024 season and led the Blue Devils to their first outright ACC championship since 1962 with a 27-20 overtime upset of No. 17 Virginia in the conference title game.

Mensah earned second-team All-ACC honors after producing a conference-leading 3,973 passing yards on 66.8% passing with 35 total touchdowns and six interceptions. He has started 27 career games at Tulane and Duke and has two more years of eligibility.

If Mensah departs the program on the final day of the NCAA transfer window, it will put coach Manny Diaz and the Blue Devils in a difficult position with few proven options available in the portal.

Just sayin': He had a guaranteed $4M NIL deal at Duke. Some other school must have just offered him a lot more to hop in the transfer portal at the last moment......:nod:
