Dan comes across as incredibly jaded. The backroom shenanigans are not ok, even if the situation is improved from where it was. The NIL system is still broken, and it needs a lot of work. If Sluka was promised what he said, then good for him for standing up for himself.
He should listen to "Try that in a small town"
but is he right?
the problem is he didn't get it in writing, that's kinda on him
He should have had a written contract and was silly not to have one. Both sides are at fault.
It's impressive Dan was able to do a full-length interview while simultaneously carrying all that water.
Kid and his family are dopes for not getting any of this agreement in writing.
College football is exhibition minor leagues.. its meaningless.
It’s a business, if they don’t want to pay him the college and collective quit on the team not the player. UNLV coach is making 1.75mil a year, don’t give me this crap about quitting on a team. Coaches quit and go to other colleges leaving all those players they recruited all the time.
businesses usually put things in writing..
@@ZaoJin yes but it’s not the college paying the money. It’s generally a third party. So the OC made misrepresentations to the player. Since the college and the coach are not the ones finding it they’re not the ones to provide a contract. It was 100% a mistake to not ask for one and to take their word as honorable but it doesn’t relieve the college of a coach lying to a player in recruitment.
I agree with Rich. College kids and even their parents are easy marks for these recruiters and boosters. How many players have just sucked it up and played despite not getting what they were promised?
These kids are going to learn there are consequences for not living up to your promises. We need to hold the schools/boosters to the same standard. No pay, no labor.
Wetzel is a Hack elitist who hates anything other than the Big 10 & SEC
Horrible to have the billion dollar NCAA and hundred million dollar programs and million dollar coaches and their supporters put the blame on student athletes for not building a good enough system to finally allow the people that are drawing the crowds and alumni donations and getting concussions and broken knees earn a drop of the ocean of money generated by college athletics.
If you say the player should have signed a contract, shouldn’t you also say the school should have signed a contract?
No doubting who is influencing Wetzel. Shame on you Dan. Sluka was lied to by a UNLV coach. There's more than one person that would, under oath , vouge for that.
A player should not be playing without a contract that the player, school and Nil are responsible to follow.
Yes thank you! Everything making way too big a deal out of this
Sluka was about to get benched UNLV won and their better with Hajj Malik
I love how people are mad bc some kid didn’t get NIL money from the school when the school isn’t allowed to actually pay. Funny how this stretched from “we just want NIL” to schools must pay when those are 2 separate things.
One is not a big deal, but maybe lots of players start this to try get more money. Lots of chaos,
I mean, the final point of it being on them for not signing a contract is definitely true
Yeah you keep saying that. I guess if someone's word isn't good enough then I suppose you'd be right. It could turn out that not signing a contract and this happening is going to be the smart thing for this QB in the long run. In addition, it makes UNLV look small and dishonest. Any school recruiting against them will have a pretty big poker chip to play now.
It should be a requirement to sign a contract.
Career OVER!! WHO'S paying for the QB who walked out on his team?
A school that likes his skills and is willing to pay him. Public opinion supports the kid. Kid knows he has no NFL future and he picked UNLV based on the money promised and for no other reason. This is it for him to make money playing football. Most people understand that.
It might not be a big deal for NCAA, but I still think it's bad PR for UNLV and might mess up the flow of their season. Maybe the team actually kinda hated this guy and liked the second QB better and save their season - then sure. But if they are around .500 this year, I wouldn't be surprised if the coach left. This was the best season in UNLV's history and they found a way to completely screw it up over $100,000 lol!
Boom. Roasted.
everyone forgets that these kids go school for free
And then the school makes millions off their success dwarfing that scholarship money that player recieved
Is Wetzel on the NCAA's payroll? Seems like a puppet to me
Yeah no problem here...
Never was there a 100k promise from UNLV Sluka is quitting to Red Shirt to try to get more $ next year. If he is smart enough to play the red shirt card then he is smart enough to get a contract He and his representative did not
He is not great, he is just good and getting older everyday This is caused by lack of NIL oversight
If Derek Stevens was willing to pay the $100,000.00 price ; WHY did Odom not let it happen?? This would have solved the issue period. We are not getting the whole story. I hate to think that Odom is so obstinate that he is god and won’t be challenged by his players. The casino boss called you out and all you can say is next man up?
Dan just bodied rich and it was kinda epic
How? This guy sided with the suits & said nothing is gonna change.....things will change after this. Players are refusing to bend over & get screwed
@@dustinwells4127 he said the kid and his support team are dumb for not having a signed contract and then he pointed to Rich’s weak point about college players not knowing about taxes as ridiculous. Which it was.
@Bringmethehorizondude change is coming. Stating how it's always been isn't "being bodied." I had no power in my University days when coaches reneged on offers. These ancient times of no contracts are coming to an end
@@dustinwells4127 Only change if Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama or Michigan have similar types of mutiny occur. Otherwise, nothing to see here move along.
@egruber50 it'll happen at the highest levels. This is another first step for player "rights." Change is a comin
I wonder how many kids leave the university or any program and then later down the road, FIND OUT THEY OWE TAXES, and by that time it's too late lol
