Who is making these deals with players? Is it the school? or is it a private collective? or is it some private booster that promised to buy him a Ferrari if he started 3-0? Either way I dont think that any professional representative would advise him to pull out if they didnt have a clear breach of contract. In the NIL era this could end up being a death sentence for UNLV, other athletes will not trust them in the future.

This could be another example of why they are going to let the schools end up directly running NIL. This entire program/system/whatever you want to call it is a total cluster in the way it's done, and both sides, at the end of the day, only care about themselves and act like it.

Wait. I think Cincinnati just scored again.

https://www.on3.com/news/matthew-sluka-unlv-situation-is-going-to-keep-happening-nil/ Every time it does, it likely will be because of one of three scenarios. Scenario 1 The player and the school’s collective agreed to X dollars over a time period. The collective actually paid Y dollars, with Y being a number lower than X. Scenario 2 The player and the school’s collective agreed to X dollars over a time period. The collective paid X dollars as agreed upon, but the player had some success on the field and decided he now wants Z dollars. Z, of course, is a larger number than X. Scenario 3 The player and the school’s collective agreed to X dollars over a time period. The collective paid X dollars as agreed upon, but the player had some success on the field and suddenly representatives of other schools are reaching out to the player (or his agent) and suggesting the player could make Q dollars if he redshirts this season and comes to their school next year. Q, of course, is a larger number than X. Just think where we'll be with NIL in a few more years.....

What a nightmare...
