Where they can contact coaches and coaches that go, okay, yeah, sure.

I'll talk to you because you initiated the conversation.

So let's get to the con or to the, uh,

the crux of what is happening here.

And it all centers around this exclusive contract.

And what basically Duke has said, or in this contract, and Jason, I know you read it, I've read it as well.

There's an exclusive contracts clause that basically makes it where Mensa has promised that he will not make a similar commitment of NIL licensing through a letter of intent or through entering the portal

to enroll at or compete in athletics for another collegiate institution.

Now, the other thing, and we'll talk about this on the emotional side of things, the other thing that it also says is if he decides to declare for the NFL draft, he still can't make any similar commitments with regards to NIL.

And I'll talk about why that's important a little bit later.

But the breach here is by him...

Entering the portal, and the way they used that tweet about what was being offered was Duke is using that as evidence that Mensa's people clearly were talking to somebody else, which is in violation of the contract.

It does not matter what was offered.

It does not matter what he's agreed to.

What matters is that his agents, his family, his representatives, what have you, whoever.

was talking to another school to try and get Mensa to enter the transfer portal and go somewhere else in violation of this exclusive contract.

So that's where it's being kind of hinged around.

The other thing is this, and I know you've heard this even in Africa because this was a big deal on Friday.

Duke has measures for terminating the contract, and they said that within the contract, they're alleging that they have the exclusive right to cancel this contract, not Darian Mensah.

Now, some people have asked if this is something that's enforceable under North Carolina law.
