That Duke has this right via the contract that they both agreed to and that for the next year until December 31st, 2026 –

Every part of what I just said should be Derry Mensah at Duke University.

Now, that's interesting because, again, we'll talk about the emotions part of it.

They're basically saying we want to control his NIL rights, and we want him to stay at Duke to play football and not play football or use his NIL anywhere else.

Those may be contradicting in several ways, and we'll talk about that a little bit later.

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.

It's, again, to put something in place to preserve the status quo of this case until it is held and until we're able to discuss it in full.

And what's interesting about this, and we're going to talk about this a little bit, but in this complaint, this is Duke University versus Darien Mensah.

The University of Miami and any other school is not a part of this right now because as it stands right now, Darian Mensah has not officially entered the transfer portal.

He's going to be in a couple hours, as I mentioned in a second, and he hasn't signed with another school.

So there hasn't been any breach or tortious interference that you've seen online.

There hasn't been that yet by another school.

This is Duke versus Darian Mensah, the football player.

So, again, they had a hearing yesterday, and Judge Michael Ofugula said,

ruled on the TRO almost immediately.

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.
