You mean like a QB in the championship game who hasn't been to class in 2 years? Guess you didn't tune in last eve.

A blanket statement like this would hold up to any level of scrutiny. In fact, there are plenty of examples of individuals or entities suing when they are doing something shady or against the law.
Adding to that, the great Matt Leinart took ballroom dancing as his only class in Fall 2005. We've been here for a while now.

This will be an important case to follow, with regards to the strength of the NIL signed deal. It may be a longshot case, but it could have lasting impacts either way.
It is interesting though: You are suing a player that he must stay with the team...which if you are successful, means you are keeping a star player around who does not want to be there.
Definite double-edged sword here for Duke.
I thought the same thing, but ultimately the college timeline and "stage" are short-lived when viewed in the context of a potential career in the NFL. He'll want to do whatever he can to best position himself to showcase his skills and be picked as high as possible in the draft. I think that desire and Duke's desire to win football games align pretty well with only a small amount of potential exceptions.
I don't think that is true. Has there ever been a ruling that said the NCAA cannot establish eligibility for its members?
If so, that would throw every single state athletic association, Little League, etc. out the window. After all you don't have to play in the NCAA there is NAIA, overseas, AAU, club teams, etc.

IANAL, but it seems to me that, because NIL cannot be used for pay-for-play, that Duke wouldn’t have a strong case. The company/collective that made the deal with him can still use his name, image and likeness, but would they want to if he doesn’t play for Duke? That company/collective could hold firm and retain the rights Mensah signed over, but Duke wouldn’t seemingly have standing in this case because the contract cannot dictate which school he plays for.
College Football Teams Are Now Worth Billions—and Their Values Are Skyrocketing https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ot...and-their-values-are-skyrocketing/ar-AA1UrTkH
I don’t get it. A NFL team an owner can sell and realize their profit. There is no team to sell in college. Mark Cuban doesn’t own IU football he can donate all the money he wants but at the end of the day he gets nothing out of the investment from a financial standpoint
Just a matter of time before we start seeing sponsors patches on college sports teams uniforms just like some of the pro teams.
It's a click bait headline. Basically, as the article lays out, a university professor used the types of metrics used to value professional teams on college teams to see what their value would be if they could be bought and sold.
Not sure where Cuban comes into it w/r/t this valuation stuff, but for guys like him it's not about making a profit. The same way a rich guy doesn't put his name on a new building on campus with the expectation of turning a profit, Cuban is not spending NIL to make a profit. His Alma mater just won a national championship, and he bought the right to feel like an essential part of it. Given how much money he has, I have to imagine that feels like money well spent for him right now.
What I wouldn't get is why you'd want that guy in the locker room. Better to have him than lose him I guess, just an awkward circumstance.
oh, I think they simply want to win the lawsuit, and then tell him to take a hike . spend some money now to save a bunch later
Might be behind a paywall. Essentially saying that SEC still kicking Big Ten's but in ratings.
