""Mr. Mensah has an existing contract with Duke which the university intends to honor, and we expect he will do the same," Duke's athletics department said in a statement Wednesday. "The court-ordered temporary restraining order (TRO) issued yesterday ensures he does not violate his contract. The university is committed to supporting all of our student-athletes, while expecting each of them to abide by their contractual obligations.""
""Duke quarterback Darian Mensah is permitted to enter the transfer portal, but can't enroll at another school or play football for another college team before a North Carolina judge rules on Duke's request for an injunction that would prevent him from leaving. Mensah, who signed a multi-year contract with Duke in July 2024 that was believed to be worth $4 million this year, informed Blue Devils coach Manny Diaz that he intended to transfer Friday, the last day the transfer portal was open.""
Duke quarterback Darian Mensah is permitted to enter the transfer portal but cannot enroll at another school or play for another college team until a North Carolina judge rules on Duke's injunction request. An injunction hearing is scheduled for Feb. 2 in Durham County Superior Court, with Mensah's attorney seeking an earlier date. Mensah signed a multi-year NIL contract with Duke in July 2024 believed to be worth $4 million this year and notified coach Manny Diaz of his intent to transfer on the portal's final day. Duke sued Mensah and obtained a court-ordered temporary restraining order to enforce the contract. Judge Michael O'Foghludha denied part of Duke's request and recused himself from further proceedings due to a conflict of interest. Under the contract terms, disputes must be settled through arbitration.
