Per Pet Thamel of ESPN, Sluka said that a UNLV assistant coach made a verbal agreement promising he'd get a minimum of $100,000 in NIL money if he transferred there and all he's been given a $3,000 moving stipend. After he tried to get them to honor the agreement they countered by only offering him $12,000.
If that's true I can't blame him for leaving while he could still redshirt.
It seems weird to me that anyone -- athlete or collective -- would do a deal verbally, but this is just a $100,000 deal. Neither side is playing in the big leagues here.
While people are asking what school is going to trust him, I think a question just as pertinent is what athletes will trust UNLV? If you can't uphold that deal for a quarterback you're not worth talking to in the NIL era.
So redshirting is the code name for quitting in this situation? I obviously don’t know how this stuff works, but isn’t it the teams decision as to who they choose to redshirt?
