What a ridiculous situation.

A starting transfer senior qb for only $100k? WTF?

I assumed that any NIL agreement would be in a written a contract, but maybe it's an IOU.

If it's in a written contract, seems pretty easy to prove/resolve. If not, lolSluka and his family.

Verbal, lol.

We will definitely pay you buddy, just give us til after the season to deliver.

**** the UNLV boosters and coaches. Sluka deserves the bag he was promised and they just wasted a year of his life.

Line move seems like an exaggeration to me, fired a bunch more on UNLV pk

of the 2-6 teams in the sec Texas plays one total, and it's at home. y'all got lucky af

They grouped the teams by record over the last few years and tried to make it even by having each team play the same number of teams from each group. Aggy and Florida were near the top, not our fault they suck now.

Hopefully they go to 9 game conference schedule and we get to play every team home and away over a 4 year period. None of this aggy-Georgia play once in 12 year ****.

If we don't go to 9 games we'll probably get the other of 2-6 that we missed in two years.

Neither of us knows the truth but I find it easier to believe UNLVs story that he/his agent is greedy and trying to blackmail them for more than he got promised $100K and despite being unbeaten they did not pay it. I'd find his story much more reasonable if their record was bad and the boosters decided to renege.

QBs should swap percentages with each other like donkament players.

I think I read that the UNLV collective confirmed that they have paid him exactly $3k so far.

so, what seems more likely - they promised him $3k and not a penny more, and he accepted that with eyes wide open and then is now demanding more? Or that they said (or maybe heavily implied) that he would get $100k but never put it in writing and then he showed up and started winning and they said sorry you're stuck now?

I don't know a ton about the market value of various players yet, but I have to imagine his market value was > $3k so I doubt the collective's version is 100% truth.

His version could be 100% truth, or it could be somewhere in between - maybe they implied that they'd pay him more if he did well, and then he thought that was $100k, then he went and asked for it and they said after the season, and he said pay me now and they said no, or maybe they offered him way less or something and feelings got hurt and he said **** off

HC cross is now at JMU, wouldn't be shocked if he xfers there after the season

doubtful an FBS QB agreed to a pittance of a $3k NIL deal

that doesn't even come close to passing the smell test

While he kept saying he didn’t know any of the specifics of the UNLV situation, Kirby Smart’s comments that “this happens all the time” somebody (such as an assistant coach / ‘cruiter) makes a commitment that isn’t actually theirs to make (like not their check) then the real check-writer says “Aw hell no” and it snowballs strikes me as remarkably similar to how football recruiting has always worked. Kinda’ like Mark Stoops but for 0.2% of the money.

I mean, I personally knew two kids who were signed as OL’s on the promise that they wouldn’t have to add weight and instead focus on athleticism only to walk into basically a forced-feeding program and strength and conditioning coaches who thought those promises were hilarious. Pretty sure if you told most coaches, “**** the kid” they’d reply “this is the way” without hesitation.

We gonna get any hurricane games this weekend or is it gonna be mostly rain by the time Saturday gets here?

ESPN said $3k a month for 4 months. So $12k not the $100k he was promised verbally.

Bridges are burned he's never playing for UNLV again. Both sides ****ed it up over not a lot of money. Playoff chances, where the real money is, have gone bye bye.imo.

Dave Portnoy wants into NIL and pledged up to $3M/year to get Michigan a Top 10 QB.

Your argument assumes you are correct to jump from paid so far to agreed only to that amount. Shows your bias or intelligence that you actually believe that. I think it more likely that he is not good enough to demand everything up front.

Texas is SEC ready
