Kinda under the table. I would also bet that there are players out there like this kid who are getting stiffed on promised money. I guess we'll see. NIL is truly the Wild West right now.

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?

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

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

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

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

This whole thing is messed up both ways.

Sluka is as sleazy or stupid as the coach.
