What I am about to post comes from comment sections of news articles, so take it for what it's worth..
"Sources" say the school met the NIL agreement, yet now 4 games into the season, UNLV is undefeated and a chance for the playoffs so now the kid and his parents thinks the kid is worth more money than the original agreement which UNLV will not pay, so they hired an agent and the kid will sit out the rest of the season.
There is a lot of 'he said, she said' going on right now as to what has actually happened.

Per Joe Arrigo (@joearrigofsm), a UNLV insider, "Sluka hired an NIL agent after the KU game, who's been advising him. On Monday, he met with Odom & asked for $300,000 to stay. Odom told him that's not happening, so Sluka skipped Tue practice & cleaned out his locker."

(a) UNLV can't promise Sluka anything. NIL cannot come from or be facilitated by the university. (b) If redshirting was agreed upon w/ the coach, the university would've put out a joint statement.

Former UNLV QB Matthew Sluka’s NIL representation, Marcus Cromartie of Equity Sports, told ESPN that Sluka was verbally promised a minimum of $100,000 from a UNLV assistant coach for transferring there. None of that money was paid, per Cormartie.
Once Sluka enrolled there, there was no effort by the UNLV’s collective to formalize a contract at that amount. Months after Sluka enrolled and Cormartie made multiple efforts with the staff and school to address the issue.
He said the school and collective came back with a contract of $3,000 per month for the next four months. That’s $88,000 less than what Cromartie said UNLV verbally promised up front.
The only money Sluka has received from UNLV, per Cromartie, is a $3,000 re-location stipend for his move. Cromartie said there was never an ask for more money after UNLV's hot start, only the initial amount he was promised up front.
is both.
