UNLV quarterback Matt Sluka announced his departure from the team, citing unfulfilled promises regarding a $100,000 NIL deal that he claims were made during his recruitment. Sluka's agent, Marcus Cromartie, stated that while Sluka received a $3,000 relocation stipend, the university failed to deliver on the agreed amount, proposing only $3,000 over four months instead. In contrast, UNLV maintained that all previously agreed-upon scholarships were honored and viewed Sluka's financial demands as a violation of NCAA rules and Nevada state law. Sluka's exit follows a strong start for UNLV, where he helped the team achieve a 3-0 record and a ranking in the Top 25. The situation highlights the complexities and disputes that can arise in the new era of college athletics driven by NIL agreements. As Sluka prepares to utilize his redshirt year, UNLV now faces the challenge of replacing their starting quarterback ahead of an upcoming game.
