UNLV starting QB to red shirt and not play the rest of the year. Guaranteed NIL

NIL had to be the reason... This sucks

He's being offered more to transfer but has decided to blame UNLV. This is

This is what has to be fixed. It is ruining the game

Wow that is incredibly sad. What a dumb loophole to be exploited

UNLV is not only losing a QB, but they are also losing their reputation.

That’s the UNLV propaganda version.

Man, I get it if they breached an agreement, but still that’s a cold way to …

Yeah. Not good.

The people who breached the agreement did the teammates dirty. I don't blame

Sep 24, 11:20pm

He's a QB with a 43% completion rate on a whole 16 pass attempts per game. Is it that big of a deal really?

The devil is in the details. If promises were made contingent on performance

Sep 24, 11:23pm

Maybe he was losing his starting job and this was his way of saving face. Who knows for sure?

6 passing tds only 1 int, and 253 rushing yards as well, decent #s outside comp%

Still ... would you want him to QB your team? They might have someone better. Maybe that guy has been dinged up and is

So he shouldn’t be difficult to replace. Buh-Bye.

How did they breach the agreement exactly?

If what he says is true then good for him. Would you keep showing up to to work if your job stopped paying you?

That is the hard part, we do not know the details. So judgments will be passed

Seems to me like 'keeping your word', on both sides, would solve the problem.

Why isn’t it in writing? This isn’t the old under the table days, so why isn’t

NIL (pay to play) as constituted will ruin college sports-

This is exactly the kind of problem that had me worried before the floodgates

So he thinks this looks good to his next team?

RenoCoug

I can see that- I could also see it as more contractual.

Might as well hang up his cleats. Not sure he’s likely to play another down with his choice here.

TwinsRight

Maybe lower division ... no NIL though. Maybe it wasn't about NIL but playing time and he was about to be benched?

lol. Would you keep showing up to work if they paid you half the salary you

If he is good, it won’t matter. Also, if he is telling the truth, it also wont

This doesn't sound like the same situation at all. The school isn't supposed

This is good for BSU and makes it a little easier to make the playoffs.

The best way to resolve this from happening in the future is for coaches at
