Duke entered into a contract to play four football games against the University of Louisville. According to the complaint, Duke breached the contract. Duke defended the lawsuit based on a provision of the contract that allowed Duke to avoid having to pay $150,000 penalty for each game not played, if Louisville could find an opponent of “similar statute” to Duke.
Duke’s lawyer argues there is no team of similar stature,
I think the Court can absolutely positively take judicial notice that Duke is probably the worst football team in Division I football. Everybody knows that. That’s no secret. The longest losing streak, the inability to ever win games. Everybody knows about it. That’s well documented. We certainly don’t have to go out and take six months of discovery to establish that for you.
No argument here.
