specifically defines the obligations of the parties engaging in a transaction together. Since no contract exists, we don’t know what, if any, real deal was discussed.

The NCAA needs to prevent players from being able to both quit midseason and transfer without an eligibility penalty.

I’m okay with transferring without penalty, but I think schools should maintain

I’m surprised how one sidedly people are mad at the UNLV qb. What if his story

Was the promise documented and signed? If not, it wasn’t a valid commitment.

Then they shouldn’t care if he leaves. If they have no integrity & don’t keep

so the scholarship, tuition, full room & board, stipend have zero value now?

Sep 26, 3:27pm

No, that’s not the going rate of compensation for athletes these days

Sep 26, 6:28pm

that isn't a quid pro quo relationship, if that is how athletes are going to see

Are you saying the UNLV quarterback was under performing?

KYU

Sep 26, 7:26pm

Have you seen his stats? Not worth 100k NIL

Sep 26, 11:06pm

Who said that? If he was promised x + full ride scholarship and didn’t get that

And now the coaches are reaping their reward, with their player leaving. Don't promise things you can't keep.

I would have had it in writing….. Don’t believe the kid for a second.

How do you get it in writing? The school can't technically be promising NIL

That’s stupid. There’s no enforceable obligation if it’s not in writing.

You can't put pay to play in writing because that is against the rules.

This isn’t really true. You can have enforce a verbal contract. Alternatively a

I’ve not heard that. I am an attorney though. I can say that contract law varies

The school is currently forbidden by the courts from signing NIL contracts

Well then the kid isn’t breaking any rule or contract either. So why is he in

And with contracts, buyouts will become necessary.

Probably because the story, as told by Sluka’s side isn’t very believable.

I don’t like NIL so I don’t care. He is getting an education paid for.

A lot needs to be done to fix NIL! Free agency 24/7 and no “salary cap” is bad

Individually those would be hard to manage. All 3 combined make CFB a circus.

The UNLV story only highlights the idiocy of the current system.
