Matthew Sluka leaves UNLV over $100K NIL dispute amid growing tensions in college football's pay-for-play era
A promised $100K deal gone unpaid has led UNLV QB Matthew Sluka to leave the team, sparking controversy and highlighting the unruly world of college football recruiting.

What I don't get is the money went unpaid... shouldn't that involve a lawyer or is that too much money? If UNLV was to pay him $100k, wasn't there paperwork involved? Might not be a bad idea to make single player NIL deals out of bounds for red-shirts.
And am I the only one surprised that UNLV would pay someone to be the QB? It is UNLV. Before their current coach (9-5), their last winning record head coach was back in the late 70s! Their win percentage since '81 is about 0.300.

Thats probably why they would pay someone.
It seemed to be working to this point (except for the not actually paying part), as they are ranked and having the best (very early) start they have had in some time.
It's the wild west period for NIL, just a story showing that you need this stuff in writing, verbal commitments only go so far if they can only be said and not written. Otherwise this may be the result.
Not as big of a deal as many are making it out to be IMO, just the first to do it is all.

Sounds like they tried coughing up about half of what the kid was expecting ...
On another note ....
Do these kids realize they have to pay TAXES on this money every year while they are collecting ???
I'm not too worried about their finances, I'm sure they've got people to help them figure this out. The kid changes agents or something after he transferred too, may have been a factor also.
He's alluding to tips potentially no longer being taxed, political campaign promises.
Pretty sure this income is not classified as such.
Were discussing College Football here, where did you come up with a Political take ?
See easy money. surely the Boy had been asking for his $$$ for weeks. not good for the program this.

Becomes a nonstory if they continue to win. Up 31-0 on a Fresno team they've lost 7 of the last 10 to. A speedbump for the program in what looks to be a pretty remarkable season in progress.
What's the penalty for not accounting for something that you don't have to pay taxes on?
Well the next player will want his money up front at the least. because they can't be trusted. or just not take their call.
