Word on the street is he skipped all of his Tulane final exams so pretty sure that isn’t the case

If true and his grades ended up bad would Duke accept just a regular transfer student who did the same???

You still have to be academically eligible to play. I’m going to assume a 0.0 ain’t gone get it done.

So I’m sure this is bullshite and just sour grapes

I’d imagine there is some serious work going into these transcripts

It cracks me up as well that all these SEC fans think they were not paying. All they gotta do is talk to someone.
NIL just evened the playing field


That's why they are pissed off.

Every single SEC team other than Vandy has been buying football players for at least the past 20 years.

I'm even ok with the way he left the team the way that he did


Nah…that’s some soft coward shite taking the plane ride back with his agent rather than his team.

I hope he flops bad…so hopefully he saves some money and graduates with something more than a physical education or philosophy degree.

Should’ve spent that money on Mateer. He was the best guy available

My question is was Maalik Murphy that bad for Duke for them to essentially pack his bags for him on his way back into the portal? I would imagine Murphy would've stayed for half of what Mensah reportedly got from Duke.


Compared to whom they were able to get, yeah

Starters are no longer competing against just their backups, they’re competing against everyone else who plays college football

It's now being reported by John Talty and Chris Hummer of CBS Sports that Mensah landed an NIL deal worth $8 million over two years.


Anyone that believes this is an idiot. No way Duke paid $8 million for a QB. Would love to see any official paperwork backing this up.
