[QUOTE="LawTalkin Jacket, post: 1156734, member: 1238"] what are Dook's damages? if they paid him for last season, they got their money's worth, they likely haven't paid him for next season yet so they can't ask for that money back. They can say he breached and has to come back, but court won't MAKE him play for Dook if he don't want to, so Dook says "play for us or not at all" which court is also unlikely to do since him sitting out could destroy his career, will cost him $6m, and just isn't good for the economy in general. So, he can play somewhere and Dook has no QB. I would say, IF Dook went and got AMendoza, for $6m, they could argue that they had to pay an extra $2m for a QB so Mensah owes them that difference. If Dook can't find a QB and pays their eventual starter less than $4m, they would say "sure, but we lost 3 more games than we would have lost with him, and we lost ticket sales and tv revenue and ACC championship revenue that we would have gotten had he stayed, but that stuff is impossible to [I]prove [/I]because the whole team is new and people aren't cancelling season tix by hundreds because Mensah is gone. So I am not sure what Dook could "win" other than a slap on wrist for Miami who may have tampered. I do think that this could expose the entire myth about NIL and show that this is not NIL, but pay for play and ultimately prove that the athletes are employees and should be treated accordingly (with a union and collective bargaining).
