NIL Chaos!!!

It's a total mess! Sluka claims UNLV offered him $100,000 verbally to attend UNLV. The head coach now says if the offer didn't come from him it's not valid. Apparently the OC made the offer and now he will not talk. The NIL collective told Sluka and his agent to negotiate with the coaches because Sluka's agent isn't registered in Nevada and couldn't do the negotiations with the NIL collective. Others at UNLV are claiming all Sluka was ever offered was $3,000. If I was Sluka I would have said "you gotta pay that up front or no deal." Maybe it's on him and his agent for not doing that.

Agent: QB left UNLV over unfulfilled $100K offer

Matthew Sluka's agent says the QB left UNLV because the school did not fulfill a $100,000 verbal offer from an assistant coach.

Hopefully UConn's NIL collectives and coaches study this mess and learn from it!!!

Maybe they should have standardized NIL contracts?

They should 100%, but until a CBA is put into place, this will be the norm with verbal agreements nonstop.

This made national news today - starting QB left UNLV, according to other published reports due to UNLV boosters defaulting on NIL agreements:

UNLV QB leaves program, hints at NIL dispute

UNLV starting quarterback Matthew Sluka announced Tuesday night on social media that he will not play in any more games this season.
www.espn.com www.espn.com
It should be noted that another Vegas news source is reporting that another school offered Sluka more NIL money and that's why he is leaving.

UNLV QB Matthew Sluka quits team in middle of undefeated season: ‘More money’

Matthew Sluka is cashing in his chips and leaving Las Vegas.
nypost.com nypost.com
Meanwhile the University or Florida, its coach and NIL collective are also being sued by a former QB who alleges they defaulted on promised NIL money.

Obviously pretty soon word will be out on who comes through with the money and who does not but it is sounding like WILD WILD WEST with schools making wild promises to kids they cannot keep.

It's strange- right now tampering with other schools players is legal. Th bottom line on NIL is it goes back to one scene in a 1997 movie which may have changed the culture of American sports.

**Latest news on UConn / Big 12 rumors....**

There will be a lot more attorney's fees billed and paid before all of this CR is over. There will be winners and losers, but not among the attorneys. They/we all get paid win or lose. I make the same kind of living litigating squabbles over Estates, life insurance policies, and real estate, and get paid win or lose. It's only in personal injury cases where we only get paid if we recover something.

UConn 1.5 Favorite Tonight vs. FAU at the Rent

KhalidShockedTheWorld
One other thing watching the game on TV last night- (Blades I assume you were at the game) is that the CBSSN camera guy, when UConn was on offense, was CONSTANTLY faked out on misdirection plays and following the fake and not the ball carrier. It was comical and I think it may have even happened on one of the Evers TD runs (first one posted by Blades above). And I was saying to myself, "the camera guy looks as faked out as FAU's defense."

Crazy thing about the score is FAU was only a 1 point underdog and they only allowed 16 points @ Michigan St.
So bettors beware of the Huskies !

I listened to Zanetto's podcast on Friday and he had some FAU kid on who made it sound like FAU's defense was impenetrable. Well the infamous "Maginot Line" that France set up to defend against a German attack before World War II was also thought to be impenetrable. UConn went through FAU's vaunted front 7 like they were Swiss Cheese. 421 rushing yards speaks for itself, and most of that damage was done by UConn secondary RBs (supposedly) although Durell Robinson sure looks like a main man RB to me. I note he had 140 rushing yards and a 7.5 yards per carry average in the first two games sharing the ball with others. That and last night looks like main man player to me, but they don't even need him to be a 20 carry per game back. And that's what is great, they have a very deep stable of RBs who can all play.

That's what they were saying last on CBSSN during the game- NIL will triple next year. So I hope some potential UConn players or their families heard that.

I liked what I saw- the OL played well too and was opening huge holes for Durell and Mel, and they ran hard. When Rosa comes back next week, with Edwards resting a bit, UConn has 4 really good RBs and a QB who can also run.
