My bet is that if Duke fans heard the figure, they'd be upset because I think we are all very, very angry.
And we wanted Duke to get many, many, many, many, many millions.
And I don't think we got many, many, many.
So on the settlement and on the amount of it, even though we have no idea, I feel pretty comfortable that it's probably north of a million dollars.
It could be multiple millions of dollars.
I want to point out something to folks because it's very easy for us as fans to say, you know, oh, an extra million here or there, extra couple, few, maybe even more than that million doesn't make up for the fact that we're not going to have
a really dynamic Heisman Trophy candidate kind of quarterback on our team.
The fans who feel that way are not wrong.
But I want to point out a couple things.
The first one is this.
The money that Duke takes in, while not being money that we can spend on NIL for players, you know, that money is capped.
That money is very specific to
let's say Duke took in two โ I'm just going to โ again, I have no idea.
Let's say Duke took in $2 million here.
Well, there are other things that Duke can do with that $2 million.
Maybe it's something with facilities.
Maybe it's something with coaching salaries.
Maybe it's something in terms of other benefits to the football team.
And as a result of that,
Duke may be able to free up money from donors.
