Below is a portion of the CBS article on this. What stands out to me is the battle of words about "irreparable harm". Personally I'd like to see Duke approach this from the angle of losing the starting QB on the last day of the portal puts Duke at a severe disadvantage for a replacement of the same quality. Thus it directly impacts their ability to win games, get games on better tv networks, and get compensated by the ACC (which is now tied to network viewership). The harm is tangible for the schools when players do this. From the article: "Contracts mean something. Mensah's actions violate numerous provisions of his contract with Duke University and disregard his promises and obligations to the University. And, as Mensah agreed when he signed his contract, such breaches cause Duke irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law and, in the event of any such breach, Duke is entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief." Mensah's agency, Young Money, is working with sports attorney Darren Heitner to navigate the suit. Heitner told CBS Sports the "lawsuit shouldn't have been filed in the first place for a variety of reasons. "You can't restrain the movement of athletes from one school to another," Heitner said. "There's no provision in the agreement that removes a requirement that Duke put the player in the portal within 48 (business) hours of a request. There's no irreparable harm and there's a mechanism in the contract that shows how they'd be compensated for any harm, thus there cannot be irreparable harm."
