. . . and just like clockwork, since it likely involves scUM, the weasel makes his appearance: They want this before any discovery. I would demand at least partial discovery before the hearing.
Could not imagine that Duke would allow this conduct to pass without action. Miami has no QB next year and their back was against the wall. They connived this fine but ill-advised young man to take the cheese. This will not end well for Miami. Hopefully, this will create the necessary fuel to keep malefactors from abusing the already worn guard rails of the transfer portal and NIL. Duke has all the leverage and I fully expect Mensah to be Duke's QB next year. We can only imagine what illegal magic trick Miami will do to create a quarterback for next year!
When ya cant hang in math class , go to law school and finish at the bottom. Theres always humanities i guess.
The attorney is a MC Laude graduate of UF undergraduate and UF law school, where he continues as an ad junct law professor! Many times lawyers are hired not by their clients directly, but by third parties who agree to pay the bill. I would suggest that Miami malefactors are highly involved in this debacle. Their backs are against the wall and next season without a quarterback will drive them back into non-importance. This has little to do with NCAA actions but is a simple straightforward breach of contract. The longer Miami goes on with this theater, the dirtier the details become!
Give the B1G some credit, they stepped in to help their member school enforce a contract they signed with a key athlete. If Jim Phillips has a spine (which he doesn't) I'm sure we'll see the ACC do the same for their member...

This sounds like common sense, but I'm not sure that's how it works anymore![/QUOTE] Yeah. As I understand it, the B1G10 had recently adopted some new contractual language in each school's NIL deals that made the breach of contract easier to demonstrate and more significant to enforce. I don't know if the ACC in general or Duke in particular has done something similar and if this will go the way it did for Washington or not.
My issue with these lawsuits is that the player won't be playing next season. Washington and Duke both should have let them go. So they sue to force them to stay but now you have trust issues to deal with. The locker rooms sure aren't going to just let these QBs pick up where they left off. A ton of them will be pissed off at them for breaking the contract to begin with. They will question them for loyalty, "How do we know you won't play your ass off?" It's a tainted team with these QBs now.
