A Drew Aitch Intervention Needed

After reading this, I side with Sluka and think he is doing the right thing.

I believe a verbal is a legal contract, just immensly difficult to enforce.

My boss is also not fulfilling a verbal offer of $100k to me.

Maybe...UNLV's defense is what has been winning them games and their backs have been better than the QB

He got offers from B1G and SEC teams for $400-$500k?

Huge Manatee

So he was offered $400K-$500K and decided to take $100K?

Yep, if a coach lies about the money, the player should walk.

As discussed in the article, it's a shady business as currently run.

This guy is also 100% in support of Sluka's decision

That was the intent, but nobody is even pretending that's how it works anymore

Exactly, I don't want to hear anyone complaining about what a school was

That was the idea, but NIL is broken because NCAA is dumb and toothless

It sucks, but do you give up on the team after 3 games????

This whole thing is messed up both ways.

Sluka is as sleazy or stupid as the coach.

More likely: coach is sleazy, and Sluka was naive.

Agent didn't insist on formal agreement. Dad didn't insist on formal agreement.

Sounds like the agent may have been hired after the fact.

Also with how the whole NIL thing works I would bet that these types of verbal deals are out there at other places.

NIL should be performance-based.
