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).

Damn this is hilarious.
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.www.espn.com
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.

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.

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.That is the way the normal world works.

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.

I bet there’s a bunch of Duke law school students eager to help out. This could turn out to him waiting a year not playing bal like Clarett did (different circumstances obviously).

It was posted in a tweet. There are some arguments that it was badly formed in that there is no out clause and damages section like the Big Ten and SEC have been working on so it might not be enforceable but we'll see.
Not the tweet I saw but this seems to have most of it.

I'm not sure why people can't just see these young men as young men. They make more money than the average young man their age, but they still make decisions like young men, and have to learn that their decisions have consequences. If a kid is working sales for say, Pepsi, he may have an non-compete contract that he can't work for a competitor for X amount of years. Its up to him to know the terms of the contract, but no one will care about that kid because he doesn't throw a football
