How nuts is the mess that is college football now?
Follow along with this bouncing ball....
Mensah is just the latest quarterback joining the new dance craze in college football: The QB Shuffle. According to On3’s online database: Josh Hoover is headed from TCU to Indiana, which means Hoosier backup Alberto Mendoza is headed to Georgia Tech, where the Yellow Jackets needed a QB after Aaron Philo, their backup to the graduating Haynes King, left for Florida, which had lost its quarterback, DJ Lagway, to Baylor, to complete the Texas-to-Texas cycle.
(Mensah is/was the Duke QB who entered the portal in the last minutes to go to Miami. Duke is suing Mensah as there is a signed contract for his NIL.}
From the lawsuit: “Under the NCAA rules and regulations, other schools may not contact student-athlete, directly or indirectly, until the student-athlete has entered the transfer portal. At 2:07 p.m. ET on Friday, January 16, 2026, sports media reports began to circulate that Mensah was considering entering the portal and was being offered purported ‘buyout’ of his contract with Duke University.”
Translation: “Someone else dangled some more cash in front of our quarterback.” The alleged suitor, according to the lawsuit, is Miami, which adds a little spice to things. The Hurricanes aren’t merely an ACC rival for Duke. Miami also pushed now Duke head coach Manny Diaz out after three years as its head coach to make way for Mario Cristobal.
