And his attorney is Darian Mensah's attorney.

So this is a whole thing where they know that, yes, again, you can sue if you want to, but do you want to tie up Duke and red tape for a couple of years over one player's contract?

And the should they part goes back to how will that affect the program?

How will that affect...

contracts in general and it's a it's going to be interesting way it's going to be interesting decision for Duke because they could try and set the market in a way they could say hey NCAA since you're not going to do this you're not going to make regulations we're going to have to do it through the enforcement of this contract by legal measures and if they get this right then you may have it where

Players will never sign a two-year deal again because they'll want to back out of it if they do well.

And schools are never going to offer it again because they know players can just break it and it won't matter.

Then you also have, again, the reputation of the program.

And I'm sure they're weighing the notion that they don't want to be viewed as the program that sues people because that's not going to attract top talent, which is what we're trying to do.

And we're already having this situation where Darian Minson is kind of providing yet another example of our real reality that Duke football to some of these guys is just a stepping stone to somewhere else.

It happened with Mike Elko.

It's now happening with Darian Mensah.

I mean, if you think about some of the guys who left our program last year and transferred to what would be considered better football programs and again, did that without burning bridges and we wish them well.

But a lot of guys probably still view Duke football as a stepping stone to somewhere else.

That is a major program, a blue belt program.

And I know we don't want to hear that.

But that's what I'm seeing through this.

And so Duke has to weigh the option of, yeah, we could sue.

And I'm sure the emotional reaction, as I mentioned, is to sue them to oblivion, get all the money we possibly can.

And that's probably something they're weighing.
