Imagine starting a job say hey you're going to get paid $100,000. 3 months in you're doing a really good job. And they say we're not going to pay you what we said. Don't think you would keep working
College football has ALWAYS been about BIG business…don’t be mad at the student athletes now for making these colleges stand on the business portion. Blame the school not the player
Oh I do blame the teams for even entertaining paying players through NIL. It should have been a small amount divided among the team, not individual sponsorships.
@@bnegs521 It's laughable when you read all the further bizarre claims that his dad and his agent are making now. They actually said that there many power conference teams offering him $400,000 to $500,000, and he turned them down to get $100,000 fro UNLV. Sure, that's believable. 🤣🤣
UNLV/NIL representatives should pay up as promised. It's a small sum considering what the future financial gains are. UNLV is 3-0, just beat a P4 team in Kansas and likely competing for a conference championship. This is the difference between making and not making a bowl game. Very dumb selfish financial move.
Sluka got what he was promised. Started 3 and 0. His agent then created a ransom to keep him at UNLV and UNLV didnt have that kind of cash. Thats what happened.This was a ransom!
The only thing that needs to happen is that players get what they are promised. I would be for making all of the "contracts" public just for transparency and maybe to set expectations for HS kids. The kids are the "product" that is being sold and a lot of folks are making a hell of a lot of money off of the "product". The "product" deserves what they are promised, not one dime more or less. I can't believe anyone would think otherwise.
@@notavailable4596 But the kids have ALWAYS been the product. If not, they wouldn't play in those stadiums and be on TV and everyone wouldn't know their names. This is not new. Nothing has changed except how the money is divided.
Only one side of the story. Hold judgement. What if UNLV was meeting its NIL obligation to the kid. But then he shines in the 3-0 start; and suddenly his market value dramatically shoots up. Who can say? Let's wait for the facts.
The system is to blame here the lack of transparency and firm guidelines on NIL is the problem. Make it equal across the board and put it in tiers and you won’t have these issues.
lol it’s pretty clear what happened. Big schools got in his ear and told him to redshirt this year and they’ll pay him a bag for next season, it’s clear as day
@lightingbolt8148 What future? He isn't going to the NFL - not good enough. He is a Holy Cross grad - so he doesn't care about burning bridges in Nevada. It is his 5th year - no eligibility left after this year. Grab as much NIL money as you can before you start working at that car dealership in Massachusetts.
@@chrisc8156He's taking a redshirt year and transferring. I agree his future is likely not in the NFL but you never know what can happen in preseason. More likely the USFL or ELF though.
I think college football will look more like MLB than professional football. In baseball the top teams spend 230 million + while the bottom feeders spend less than 100 million. It’s still a team sport at the end of the day
Nobody working for free. When they started NIL they put evaluations on these kids. His was 100k. They agreed but probably didn’t think he’d perform At this level and stabbing him in the back would go unnoticed from an “irrelevant” team. But he balling and they undefeated and ranked so it’s national news and trust me recruits see what you just did. This is bad for the program moving forward
Smart guy. He met his obligations, the school should meet theirs. They are making millions. He is putting his body on the line. Screw the schools, college football has made billions off the bodies of these guys. And for free tuition 😂, yeah right
Nobody anywhere ever made him a formal offer of $100,000. Not the school, not the NIL collectives. Given that his father and his manager are also saying that power conference schools offered him up to half a million, but he turned them down, I think this guy is one of the worst liars in sports. Sure, kid, you turned own half a million, in order to play at a school where even you admit there was never a formal offer, and you were only going to get 20% of what you could have gotten elsewhere, according to your bullsh!t stories. 🤣
UNLV/boosters should have paid him via NDA$ than risk losing transfers as letters of intent are not set in stone. They are pennywise and pound foolish.
WTF NIL IS GOING TO DISRUPT THE TRUE NATURE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. ODOM SHOULD HAVE STARTED A GOFUNDME IF ADMIN COULDNT RAISE DECENT MONEY TO KEEP SLUKA. THIS SUCKS.
Collective Bargaining... Respectfully this is past your generation and not your concern... This is a job like any other... He can leave to better his chances at pay like any other person
lol… 43% completion rate…. This is what’s called greed people… this clown doesn’t care about playing football. He only cares about making the most money possible.
That's why he was being a mercenary qb, to go where he was needed and get paid. Reminds me of when the colts said JT was only worth his 4m contract but they wanted a star player + 1st or 2nd draft pick in exchange. Clearly, one side is a bad actor here. So im sure unlv will be the first to call him out for bad faith dealing in the most ironic way possible 😂

The big mistake that the QB did was making a verbal agreement. When it comes to money, get that in writing!
Shit good for him. They straight up lied to him.
How do you know that?

@@geezerpleasers_OG exactly. Thank you for posting
As a Florida state fan I fine this news so 😂 to lose your starter quarterback after team as 3-0 start just wow must suck for the fans
IF UNLV did make a promise to him and not deliver, he should not play. This is a business now and he needs to get what he can get.
There never was any formal offer from either the school or the NIL collectives.
College football is going to be unwatchable in the near future if they don't get NIL and all this paying the players stuff under control....
lol this is just the beginning.
Hold the colleges and boosters responsible then. Gainesville has a QB suing them for failing to pay him.
Nope now the talent can get help. Players controlling their on lives will make it unwatchable 😂 you sound slower than I’m sure you look 😂😂😂😂
The kid did right. The last kid left Unlv for USC as well.

Yup. I’d bet money some big schools asked him to redshirt this year and they’ll pay him a bag for next season
Better come up with it then 😂 they selling tickets.
@AffirmativeAffirMATE the new quarterback this weekend looked better than Sluka
Yeah tired of control it has become unattainable there needs to be control over NIL

@@EnvirotekCleaningSystems The money isn't supposed to be divided. It's not professional sports.
@@notavailable4596 Then the schools shouldn't have decided to start treating it like a business and selling everything associated with it.
It's not like he was going to be playing on NFL Sunday's anyway. This will be the most money that he will ever make. Unless he goes to the XFL or AFL.
He can come to Michigan 😂
Only one side of the story. Hold judgement. What if UNLV was meeting its NIL obligation to the kid. But then he shines in the 3-0 start; and suddenly his market value dramatically shoots up. Who can say? Let's wait for the facts.
He didn't shine. He had a TOTAL of 21 completions over three games, with a 43% completion rate.
They only gave him 3% of what was promised. Imagine if y'alls boss did that to you. OFC, you would be pissed just like he is right now
Nobody ever gave him any formal offer of the BS amount he's claiming.
Anybody else remember when a lot of this stuff was said when Cam Newton transferred to Auburn?
The coach will leave in December if they were to make the CFP... so hey

Know your value. Any work place or company will replace you at anytime.
Not to mention, he could get injured and it could cost him everything.
They should at least do what they said.
How much was he asking for? Anyone know?
1 year left with a lack of proven track record. I'm sure he will get paid, but I doubt he will be earning what he thinks he should.
13 million 😂😂 Florida gotta be crazy!!
They need to put a salary cap in place. The bigger schools can throw more money at better recruits.
lol it’s pretty clear what happened. Big schools got in his ear and told him to redshirt this year and they’ll pay him a bag for next season, it’s clear as day
These type of kids through the NIL garbage will ruin college football.
Thats right. Isnt a scholarship and NFL draft status enough to make kids wanna play with that school
@@Scorpionbite8no
Talking like an old head this is the modern day

I agree his future is likely not in the NFL but you never know what can happen in preseason. More likely the USFL or ELF though.
I think the NFL should just have farm teams, pay them, and train them. Colleges can just be 100% amateur or not have the programs at all.
Duh this was going to happen 😂
I love how people hate players have power
This is going to hurt him in the long run with draft and any other team he goes to
What's the difference ? If they made a Bowl game he'd probably sit-out anyway.
We need him at Michigan. Someone decent for one year.
The echo in background of this video 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
UNLV should be playing their games in the Raiders dome.
They play all there home games in the Raiders stadium.
They do
Go back to bed.

He deserves to get paid he’s gotta look out for his interest. The college won’t.
No redshirts for seniors and grads
One of you guys needs to turn off his mic or use a headset.
unlv made promises they aren't keeping....
The entire team should transfer! And no one should want to go there after this.
Payments to players has always been there. NIL just made it out in the open.

When you have other options.... No 😅
How much does he want? give me a amount i got you sluk,tm parking lot at 420pm bag cash.beat fresho.
He ain't coming back. He knows his value and UNLV didn't honor their side of the bargain.
