And then there is this rumor…he looks bad if this is how it played out.

Line hasn't changed on the game yet. Either it was priced in, or you can get a nice little discount on Fresno St

 

[TrippieRedd]

So in-season NIL negotiations are gonna become a thing?

Need to find something to figure this out.

Will be messy

 

[Jackcrevol]

Rucker gonna become the micro machine guy

 

[BigSteve09]

wow one UNLV player acts like a dumbass and it's the end of college football


we are spoiled with Spyre and good leadership now. but there are plenty of collectives, programs and people in leadership across the country that have no idea what they are doing. even more players that have no idea.

 

[TrippieRedd]

That could get messy

Was thinking the same, but that 10% increase in tickets throughout the season to help pay athletes could help during “in season negotiations”

?

Fresno has moved from a 4.5 pt dawg to a 1.5 pt favorite.

Man, I don’t get the Wallen hate.

I’m a fan. Big time. Don’t care if you aren’t a fan. You do you.

He tore up our field!!!

So they gonna get to downgrade their NIL if they underperform or get injured and miss X games…. You get a base with performance based incentives

This is a horrible look for:

UNLV
NIL
The Player........JOM, but he looks the worst.


If I were him........I'd "ball" my a$$ off and then take it up legally later.

I think it’s the kids last year as well, so leaving didn’t make sense at all.

Ball out and give yourself an outside shot at the NFL

 

[TrippieRedd]

Damn if Harrison Bailey could stop transferring, he would’ve been next man up at UNLV

 

[rikberry31]

Yep...I've never forgiven him for that. Writes a song about John Ward and the Vols...and then wears our rivals gear when we ain't doing so hot?...bandwagon piece of crap.

Actually doesn't bother me. He's an entertainer, by definition his job is pandering to his audience. It does bother me when entertainers think that their opinion on other matters is important and use their "platform" and insert into themselves political causes. Keep it to singing and acting.

The market will correct that really quickly. Not even nfl players would dare start a hold out in the middle of the season.

 

[Orange_Crush]

There is no rooting interest in this game for a VFL. This is sacrilege. I would rather have my frostbitten testicles amputated than pull for Alabubba.

What have you been doing to get your balls frozen? The wife keep her purse in the freezer or something?

That kid will get himself blackballed very quickly if he doesn't get his act together.

 

[jlawso21]

What an absolute loser quitting on his 3-0 team who might be able to make the playoff as the G5 rep.

What if he was promised a certain amount of money and they didn't pay him? Does that make him the bad guy or the administration? Two sides to a story? If they now pay him and he plays again is he the good guy now? Or just someone complying with his contract?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

He's redshirting, so he'll have a year left. I personally wouldn't bring him into a team if he tried to renegotiate mid-season.

You're right, NFL players just fake injuries and collect the rest they're owed on current contract and then become FA.

Unless it was the university itself failing to pay him what they said they would, you don't quit on your team. And if you were dumb enough not to get a contract in writing, you kind of deserve it. If you do have a contract, keep playing and let your lawyer handle the stuff behind the scenes. Kid just torpedoed his career in my opinion.

The only saving grace for him is if it is revealed that this is a Rashada situation. Wanting MORE money vs money already agreed upon. Short of that, he’s destroyed his stock with other programs AND the NFL. All the doomsayers need to recognize that the free market self regulates. A vendor that doesn’t fulfill it’s contract doesn’t get the next account.

UNLV's starting QB says he will no longer play over 'representations' that `were not upheld'

"The starting quarterback for undefeated UNLV announced on social media Tuesday that he will not play in any more games this season.

Matthew Sluka said he will instead use his redshirt year.

“I committed to UNLV based on certain representations that were made to me, which were not upheld after I enrolled," he posted on X, formerly Twitter. "Despite discussions, it became clear that these commitments would not be fulfilled in the future. I wish my teammates the best of luck this season and hope for the continued success of the program.”

NIL (and the portal) has definitely changed the college football landscape. Some recruits go to a school only for the money......no loyalty to the school, no concern for a school's academics, administration, coaches, teammates, winning games...it's all about the benjamin's. They are no longer students getting a degree but are businessmen with agents making business decisions.

None of what you said is untrue. But there are 2 sides to the equation. Some coaches/NIL are also being completely unethical in flat out telling lies to recruits that now have much more serious consequences. It will take players calling them out publicly to get things to happen on the up and up. Transparency.
