UNLV Matt Sluka-Sitting Out Due To NIL Dispute

Advertisement
I missed this at first

UNLV Collective tells them to negotiate directly with Coaches

School can't sign NIL deal so was verbal agreement

Family continued to ask about payment then UNLV counters with $3k month bull****

I would leave too
 
Confession: when Miami was in pursuit of David Stone, and Coach Macho said that Stone was signing with Miami, I promised him $10 from Canes Connection, and I didn't follow through. The next day Stone signed with Oklahoma. I'm sorry, CIS.
 
The takes from people in here box score watching confirm how casual a lot of you are, and how you don’t watch ball. You watch Miami games, maybe some ESPN highlights, check an app, and then come in and make definitive statements. Classic CIS.

He single handily won them the Kansas game on offense. He was not brought in to go air raid on teams.

Coming into 2024, he generated over 200 missed tackles in his collegiate career…AS A QB. That’s unheard of. He made defenders miss and dragged them all night vs. Kansas, single handily winning them that game on offense (the defense was lights out 2H too).

He’s very hard to bring down as a runner. He’s solid as far as G5 QBs go. Ceiling capped for sure, but solid nonetheless.

As for the NIL situation coming from someone living in Las Vegas and at the heart of UNLV’s rise, people are stunned but it seems as if it’s on the collective here.

Also their backup is a solid QB. Hajj Malik Williams from Campbell.

100% believe Sluka.

An FCS kid from Holy Cross doesn't just transfer to a place like UNLV, play 3 games including 2 road upsets against Houston & Kansas, then just decide to quit.

Here's the thing about renegotiating... IF that was the case, that would mean he was already receiving payment & then wanted more right? So why would he quit if he was getting paid? If they already paid him & have been paying him, why wouldn't he just keep playing for what he already agreed upon when he transferred & then played 3 games?

If he agreed upon a deal (for however much), when he transferred back in February, then that means he agreed to that deal under the auspices that he would be playing out the full season of that agreement. So what exactly would cause him to agree to transfer to UNLV in February, go through Spring & Fall camp, play 3 games & then quit, if he was getting paid the entire time??

So you mean to tell me UNLV or the collective was paying him & he decided to throw the money left remaining on his agreement for the rest of the season away?

Doesn't sound right to me.

Sounds like someone agreed to pay him & the payments never came, so instead of playing for free he left.
