But right now, let's talk about what the court has already ruled.
And this is also interesting.
There was a hearing yesterday, Tuesday, very, very quickly after this was filed for the temporary restraining order portion.

And he said this.
He said, one, Derry Mensah cannot sign an NIL deal, enroll, or play football for another school until the preliminary injunction is heard, which will be in a couple weeks.
Daria Mensah also cannot take any other action that would, quote, interfere with, diminish, or impair Duke University's exclusive rights under the contract, end quote.

The judge also said that all of those things that they say that he can't do right now does not preclude Duke from entering him into the transfer portal.
