Message: [QUOTE="FloridaCuse, post: 5650006, member: 8912"] [MEDIA=twitter]2016164709150458330[/MEDIA] Full tweet: Glad the parties settled. Everyone was in an awkward position. I have no idea if the settlement will see the light of day. One can only glean so much from dueling press releases, but I do think there are some subtexts in Duke's statement. [B]"We expect the same in return."[/B] That's not conciliatory language. That's Duke saying publicly: we honor our commitments, and we will hold you to yours. [B]"Enforcing those agreements is a necessary element of ensuring predictability and structure for athletic programs."[/B] Duke is broadcasting to every athlete and, more importantly, agent in the country that NIL contracts at Duke are not suggestions. What's missing from this statement? Any suggestion that Duke overreached. Any apology for suing a student-athlete. Any hint that Duke's contract was unenforceable or unfair. [/QUOTE]
