Hell, even when the coaches had "unlimited free agency" and the players were stuck in one place, the coaches at least had a pretty hefty buyout clause that offered them the incentive to stay and the schools some protection. Now, given all the restrictions on contracts (no "pay to play," etc), the balance of power has shifted precipitously in favor of the players.I could see the courts ruling the way you described (i.e., Duke has no damages). If that was to happen, I would hope Duke would appeal it as far up as necessary. Because if the contract only protects one side, the shelf life of CFB just got a whole lot shorter.</blockquote>
