UNLV Matt Sluka-Sitting Out Due To NIL Dispute

Idk. Who’s “they”. The collective? That’s between him and the collective. If they are not holding their end of a contract, you go to court.

Regardless he quit on his team. He quit on his teammates. He left a lot of people out to dry, mainly his teammates. If he isn’t getting paid what he was promised, I get it. But we’re playing football. It’s an UGLY situation regardless.

If this was us and Cam Ward, how would fans feel?

If my son’s employer stopped sending him checks, I wouldn’t worry about him letting his team down during their latest project.

Like I said, this one depends on the facts. If they really reneged on payments, his only recourse is sitting out and preserving his redshirt. Otherwise, he’d be letting himself get ****ed.

How many players over time have been promised one thing, only to have it pulled after they signed. What recourse did a player have if the promised bag did not arrive?

Well, this is a bit high profile and perhaps first of it's kind to publicly sit out mid season because of NIL.

Exactly, everyone is assuming everything at this point. You know what happens when you assume....................

Perhaps you're right.

But it never looks good quitting on your team because of money. Even if you're right.

IF they actually arent paying him what they agreed to, hes got every right to hold out until they do. this is a business. hes making a business decision. he can hold out in the league (lets be honest, hes not making the NFL anyways).

It’s Not 1:1. This is football, not a job at Google. I agree 100%. But who’s the employer? The coach and athletic department, or the collective. They are not the same, although “connected”

I find it hard to believe a head coach would tell his starting qb, in the midsts of the schools best season, to risk his coaching future and season to tell his QB to kick rocks for not getting payments promised . He/ They would figure it out. Thats a huge risk to take.

Demanding more money sounds more likely, but we don’t know the truth. As a former player, if my QB just bailed for any reason, just doesn’t sit right with me.

If he was renegotiating midseason, I agree with you 100%. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

He didn't ask for more money, he expected the money that was owed to him & they never paid.

Either way, you would have to expect that his portal stock will be at an all time low. Unless he can somehow prove it the narrative will be set.

Heard he was offered more money to transfer. Kind of odd that someone would make an offer mid-season.

Until there are REAL rules put in place for this ****, it's the wild wild west when it comes to talent procuring. I wouldn't think that someone made him an offer this late, but I also wouldn't doubt that someone made one this late, either. The crazy world of College Football is about to get even crazier.

Jesus Christ the comments on this thread are all over the place like a drunken Kardashian at Urban weekend on South Beach. About as dumb as a Kardashian as well.

Recap: 21/22 year old QB no one has ever heard of tweets he’s leaving a program no one follows midstream for NIL reasons. CiS porsters go nuts attacking school. Another porster questions validity and the tide switches directions.

How about this? Let it play out legally as I’m certain contracts are involved. THEN you can MF the school, the kid or both. Or F it, judge away!!!

This is much too rational a take for this board. Gotta take sides, make assumptions, and then wild declarations.
 
I think it's more likely the parties involved created a contract that wasn't fully understood or ironed out. I was told that if I do XYZ my NIL contract goes up but now I realize that's not written down anywhere and I'm ****ed. The school says, "He's asking for more money!", but from his perspective it's owed.

But if he's just negotiating mid-season, my god, they just destroyed whatever career he had.
