Gotta think with those dates, Dook paid to get out of previously signed contracts...
 Previous Message What exactly does it mean: "The deal will include extensive NIL opportunities for Duke athletics and is part of a broader retail partnership expected to be announced at a later date." Just a thought: maybe they'll call it "The Battle at the Garden" or something like the Desert Classic out at Las Vegas. That way, both teams get some NIL money out of this... from the article: Duke worked with the ACC and ESPN on future scheduling commitments in exchange for the ability to play these three neutral-site games, including participating in select ESPN-owned and operated neutral-site events in the 2027-28 and 2028-29 seasons. Just for fun: will these become the new Alaska/Hawaii tournaments from prior years?? Exotic locales, some pretty exclusive TV windows?? Who knows.
