He doesn't look like the kind of player who's going to get drafted and make much in the NFL. So this may be his opportunity to get some seed money for whatever he does for a career in life.

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

He didn’t sign any contract. why would he think it would be valid. You have to

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.

If the offer was made, they should pony up and get him back on the team.

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

Don’t think he’s all that great with his 43% completion %. And UNLV’s inside

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

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

Eddie

He was misquoted....it was $400-500, K?

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

Probably true, but like this is wild lol. And an assistant coach offering a

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

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

he was actually pretty good last year, I think UNLV will be fine

I thought that NIL meant that you can do advertising and profit off of your

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

cougarmeister

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

Mitty

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????

Keep his redshirt so he could potentially play next year.

The OC is the one who sabotaged his teammates.

This whole thing is messed up both ways.

Sluka is as sleazy or stupid as the coach.

Brigham

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.
