I’m not a lawyer but this where discovery comes in, and why specifically, UNLV and AFA have to refrain from saying the quiet part out loud.

Discovery can be dragged out for forever when you’re talking about monster institutions like this.

Even more reason why you should be allowed to get out while the getting is good… or at least less bad.

Free Ricky White! Free the passing game!

We’ve won games at the line of scrimmage and with our defense. We will continue to do so. It’s time to rally and rise with the under promised QB that probably deserved it more all along.

Bye, Matty poo-poo! 👋

The bigger piece is Marion is supposedly the one who promised 100k and Odom didn't know until after..

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.

www.espn.com

Sluka's agent, Marcus Cromartie, told ESPN that UNLV didn't come through on a verbal offer of $100,000 from an assistant coach. The quarterback's father, Bob Sluka, told ESPN that head coach Barry Odom later said in a phone conversation that the offer wasn't valid because it didn't come from him, but rather from offensive coordinator Brennan Marion, who declined comment to ESPN.

There was a complete dimension of our offense that wasn't being used nearly enough. Now we'll see White, DeJesus and company get theirs. Also will make it hard to scheme defensively. Plus, if the team likes HMW then we probably won't slip a beat. S hurt animal fight harder. Lucky we have an additional week.

Don't the NIL contracts have language in them to protect the schools/donors from exactly this type of situation? I mean, ultimately it's a contract of sorts, so if you sign it and bail, I would think you'd be subject to lawsuit for breach of contract. Then again, I have no idea how they format this and what sort of rules are in place for NIL since it's such a new deal.

@reagan21 @Masked_rebel @oneepstein

Something I've seen barely touched on.

MWC went into negotiations with PAC for scheduling agreement.

Now obviously the MWC would be in contact with all MWC schools to see how best to accommodate the scheduling. They likely had talks with ADs and university president's on some level along with their 'threatcaster' to formulate and agree on the stipulations of bye outs and how best to protect the conference.

If SDSU/BSU/CSU/FRESNO were already in talks with PAC about leaving and subsequent poaching, wouldn't that mean those schools were negotiating in bad faith? Like they already knew they were out but had a hand in formulating the contract. Possibly steering discussions to create an easier exit path?

They knew they were getting poached/leaving etc, but we're involved in the agreement. Seems..Shady?
(Hope that made sense)

Cuse fan here. We lost our AA LBer for at least until mid Oct. The coaches are juggling players. Our Defense was overall mid last week...DL is inconsistant. Tackling is suspect. Our QB McCord had his worst game of the season but still threw fir 300+ yards. Our OL was horrible...they should be better.

Skuka's old team Holy Cross this week then we'll see how we do vs UNLV. I'll be in Section 132 with 160 Cuse fans.

I would have cut the little shit $100k if that’s what he wanted. I hope he is reading this board. If you are, now you can tweet there’s a rebel doner who is willing to pay you and your dad $100,000 to fu*k off.

We no longer mention that name around here, LOL. Looking forward to the game...now we have a lot more questions on our end though due to the QB fiasco. Next man up though.

The answer is yes. At this point Plan A failed. Plan b is not working out.. They're trying to get another school because they need the legitimacy of a conference cover to get those conversations to be serious. Right now they also need to get the first 4 in to stay committed despite all their best intentions falling apart. Its all a power struggle at this point. Id be interested to know if Gloria gets on the phone with say Fresno and CSU and tells them they wont need to pay and offers them some assurances with cash if they announce they decided against joining.. Also still to be decided is USU's fate. Pac 12 bylaws arent just going to go away right?

Long-term, which the media and the world thinks is a four-letter word now, the courts will determine if we honored the agreement or not. If we honored the written contract as-is, then we are clear. If not, they take us to court.

I don't agree to anything binding verbally. "Let's meet for a drink." Sure, I'll accept that. "I want to give you six-figures." Is a handshake sufficient?

BS
