Not so fast, Mario.

Shades of Demond Williams. Or actually, precisely Demond Williams.

I've done some reading and now hope they are able to get this guy.

Need another downfield receiver, though.

The contracts explicitly say they aren’t pay for play or employment contracts. That’s where you get into a weird argument over damages for breach. How can Duke say that they’ve been damaged for losing it’s quarterback when it’s contract makes no mention of him actually playing football? If this goes the distance, Im predicting it doesn’t end the way Duke thinks it will.

Hope so, because Miami's backup finally portal'd.

Was this a pre revenue share contract? If so that may be the dividing line between Williams and Mensah.

If it leads to NIL reform, then I think we'll all welcome it

I think it’s more likely to break toward an even freer market for players than anything getting reigned in.

Bob, you were wrong about Demond and will likely be wrong about this shit too

 

[Bob_C]

How was I wrong?

 

[PostGameOrangeSlices]

You were initially saying he was gone and that UW was fucked

 

[Bob_C]

Well, we ended up with the worst possible outcome of Demond coming back, so tha mean we are fucked.

Could have been worse, could have stumbled into a worse QB
