Overview
- Duke and Mensah announced an out-of-court settlement that ends the lawsuit and lifts the court order that had blocked his enrollment elsewhere.
- Terms were not disclosed, so broader questions about enforcing multiyear NIL contracts remain unresolved.
- Mensah is expected to transfer to Miami, according to multiple outlets, with Duke receiver Cooper Barkate also reported as likely to follow.
- The case stemmed from a reported two-year NIL agreement worth about $8 million; a TRO had allowed portal entry but barred enrollment pending an injunction hearing.
- Mensah led Duke to its first outright ACC title since 1962 and threw for roughly 3,973 yards and 34 touchdowns after initially saying in December he would return before entering the portal on Jan. 16.
