Miami retaining Malachi Toney becomes top priority as star WR's NIL value skyrockets
Keeping Toney on the roster is a must if Mario Cristobal and the 'Canes are planning a return trip to the CFP

Malachi Toney's NIL value is exploding as Hurricanes plan to make freshman centerpiece in 2026 season
Keeping Toney on the roster is a must if Mario Cristobal and the 'Canes are planning a return trip to the CFP
Toney was Miami's "first priority outside of quarterback" for its 2026 roster plan, and keeping him away from the transfer portal -- along with several other key returning contributors -- was paramount toward next year's goal of winning the ACC and getting back to the playoff.
College football's single transfer portal window this cycle closed last week, but players from Miami and Indiana have a five-day NCAA extension to make themselves available if they choose. The additional window begins on Tuesday, and heading into the finale, Indiana had already lost 10 players to the portal while Miami had eight departures with more expected this week.
"Malachi loves it here ... he dreamed of playing here," Michael Irvin told CBS Sports after the game. "I'm not worried about Malachi. We've got a great base of (talent). And we're going to get a (great) quarterback."
Toney's compensation is expected to be in same ballpark of new Texas pass-catcher Cam Coleman, an Auburn transfer this cycle, and Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, among other top-end wide receivers.
"Whatever number you had in mind ... more," one source told CBS Sports prior to Monday's game.
Just sayin': I have no doubt that his family and/or NIL agent has been contacted and offered a good sum of NIL money if he entered the transfer portal and committed to their school by "unofficial representatives" of other schools. He knows what he could get by transferring and Miami will more than match it.

OSU is looking at one OL. Could be more as well if they see someone from Miami or IU - although i highly doubt it.

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.

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

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?

They can pay him from the profit sharing pool. That would have ramifications if the NIL clearinghouse was a real thing (but it isn’t, apparently).
