UNLV QB Matthew Sluka Quits Team over NIL Disagreement (It Begins)

[Left.A1]

No matter how you slice or what side you're on, walking away from a starting job at QB, undefeated, and ranked is nuts and unprecedented. Had he improved and the team kept winning, he could've been drafted as a Taysom Hill type from the Saints and been the new utility guy and making way more than the one time payment of $100-200K he might get at another school a year from now. Can't walk away from a situation like that when you're starting, winning, and ranked. His future was right now.

That's a lie, as he just did like I said this the new norm. Reminds me of the pearl clutching when players first started sitting out of bowl games to prepare for the draft. Yall will get over it soon.

Slippery slope.

If a school gets a rep for not honoring their promises....other schools will recruit against that. "Don't go to State U, they won't pay you."

Top shelf guys don't have to worry about it but middling guys at smaller schools are ripe for fukkery.

Y’all say that but the Jaden Rashada stuff has had zero impact on UF nor has their collective that’s raping Gervon Dexters pockets. If they cutting checks, kids are going and what happened to that one guy won’t happen to them is their mentality. Plus these cats aren’t truly getting paid like that. It’s a real small upper class that’s making dough and everyone else is scraping for scraps.

That's a big boy school.

I was speaking on the smaller schools...G5 and half the P5 can't get away with that. Florida, Bama, tOSU, Texas etc., don't have to worry about blowback like that

“Bout time” From a team captain

If the team doesn’t regress this is gonna go horrible for the young man Sluka

Players been waiting for the breh to start

just thought about this. Mike Gundy words from this off season seems fitting for this issue

You think this is gonna work out for him?

It not "working out for him" is why he left what do you dudes be talking about?

Nah, from the limited gameplay I've watched and his measureables/stats, I think his absolute ceiling is "Great Value Tebow", and the real Tebow couldn't even find a team in the league.

Taysom Hill is a unicorn because he's insanely athletic even for an NFL player (4.4 forty, 40" vertical, 700 lb squat). Tebow was ridiculously athletic too (4.7 forty at 245 lbs, supposedly 450 lb bench and 650 lb back squat, nearly 40" vertical). And they're still fringe players.

Sluka just isn't at that level athletically and he's a worse passer too. Shifty for his size though, does a great job of making guys miss in the open field and then powering through arm tackles. But I just don't think NFL defenders are going to be missing those tackles on him.

Tebow would have had a solid career if he wasn’t so stubborn about being a qb imo.

I agree its not working out for him.

I'm of the opinion that he is dumb and should take the 3K a month NIL they said they offered.

His new agent is looking funny in the light and wasn't even the one negotiating originally because you have to be registered as an agent in the state of Nevada to have UNLV deal with you.He is not .. His agent is actually under investigation now.

This is messy on this kids and his family's part and ain't gonna work out the way he thinks.

He got gassed by the 3-0 start

UNLV can't cut deals with agents or pay players outright in the first place so your whole premise about the agent and the player doesn't even make sense... He can get that "3k relocation money" elsewhere

The reality is the party that this is really "not working out for" is the team that just lost their starting QB

Wherever he goes next would like to have their shop in order if they want him to step on that field for the whole season

His completion percentage is ass
