I appreciate the opportunity to have been interviewed by @MichaelPerchick about the Duke v. Mensah litigation. Come for @mckenzielaw's informed opinions, stay for my less intelligent takes.

"The league is not giving [Duke] quality matchups consistently."
@GaryParrishCBS points out that Duke's schedule is about to get a lot more difficult than it has been recently.
@shaunjones2996 He said that the schedule is going to get more difficult. My point is that it's already been difficult. And I disagree on the quality matchup argument.
@jaydotheyward I don't get Mensah's proffered reasoning through On3 at all. You make a bunch of good points that On3 should've pushed him on. But these reporters get access by refusing to do that sort of thing, so this is what we get.
tlDr - tmj6810 can't read. Doesn't get that I have zero issue with him leaving. Only gripe is the timing and then the post hoc narrative created to justify.
Default setting to avoid idiocy from people I don't know and don't follow (this guy, for example). But do go on about how Duke doesn't matter yet spends time replying to random Duke accounts. And why are we talking about Cooper? How did we get there?
The guy who has replies turned off because he knows he’ll get cooked
Man good point, somebody tell Mensah and Barkate they made a huge mistake going to Miami. They were already at the pinnacle of college football at Duke
Makes sense considering duke’s HC is the guy we fired
@sitnuok You could be right. My understanding is that it came together late based on the reporting out there. You could be right. I could be right. We both could be right. We'll never really know.
tlDr - I got offered a bunch of money at the last minute and, wisely, took the deal. However, because our society is backwards about money grabs, I have to use Pete Nakos as a mouthpiece for my mistruths.
NEW: Star QB Darian Mensah detailed his decision to transfer from Duke to Miami with On3's @PeteNakos🙌
“I want to make the NFL. I want to be a first-round draft pick. And all signs point towards Miami.”

@JMannsTakes I don't understand why he couldn't say, "I get that Duke fans are upset and I understand where that's coming from. But I have nothing but love for them and I hope they understand one day."
@samcehrlich@RealMattBarbee To the extent that we still have antitrust law that is enforced, that is why I think Congress will have to get involved at some point.
@scottphorton@GFifdeeP It might put the old P12 back together! But I think Congress will eventually give schools a lot of leeway over this stuff. Unfortunately...
