Bro relax it was a joke. I'm making fun of this entire situation.
If I stuck it through Sanford Hauck and the rest I'm not bailing now.
From Reddit...
"UNLV insider Joe Arrigo is currently live on a Twitter space. He says Sluka went into Coach Odom’s office on Tuesday and said he needed $300k to stay. Odom said that was not happening and Sluka cleared out his locker. Sluka skipped practice on Wednesday and posted his intention to leave that night. Arroyo believes Sluka got an NIL agent after the Kansas game who got into Sluka’s ear about making more NIL money. The re may or may not be another school involved, but the timing of this implies that this is a play to try to strong arm UNLV into a payday now.*

I really hope we get to know the truth of what happened here.
And of course the realignment crap. But this one is an individual story - has the feel of a kid who thought he deserved more and was told no.
Also - Bull, I like your thought of HMW being moved upward. Hopefully the snaps the rest of the week are put to good use in practice!

Some OSU fan on X says he started following a coach at ASU...
No doubt Sluka has been impressive in evading tackles and finding lanes.
But Sluka though he was gonna strong arm an SEC caliber coach when he had a 43% completion percentage and wasted an AA WR for two FBS opponents?
Well, wish that shit stain an adios. NEXT!!
I’m thinking it played out like this.
Shit teammate. I wonder when this actually came out to the coaches. I want to rewatch the press conference and read the tea leaves about the passing game improving etc.
Sluka better pray what he put on his twitter account is true. Regardless, you don’t put what he put out in the open. It’s bad biz and he’s not good enough to overcome such douchebaggery. If he lied and covered his own quitting ass by saying UNLV and NIL breached their contract when he was anted more NIL, that dude is one of the worst teammates to ever walk this planet. GTFOOH
Check the date on that tweet. January 2024. Arrigo being correct and Sluka’s passing percentage are about the same
Doesn't matter if he felt he deserved more or not, doing it this way is a scumbag move
If UNLV hadn't paid him what he was promised in NIL, that would be one thing. Not saying I'd be happy with it but I get it.
But if he had been paid already and was demanding more that's a completely different story.
Let's go Hajj.
Not just a scumbag move, it's a bad precedence for the entire NIL process...
That’s what I mean. The timing is suspect in Arrigo’s timeline. “(Arrigo) believes Sluka got an NIL agent after the Kansas game who got into Sluka’s ear about making more NIL money. ”
Not saying that it isn’t true; but I would be surprised if anyone but Sluka and Odom know for sure.
Hope Rebel Nation loudly responds to HMW in team introductions on Saturday.

I think he's saying that Arrigo said an agent approached Sluka after the Kansas game. Which could be interpretted as a new agent or that he he didn't have prior representation.
I think the more likely scenario, his current agent was approached and that same agent went to Sluka not some new agent.
Semantics I know. Results the same either way.
I am glad that coach Odom always makes sure to give all the QB's reps. It is time for the entire team to step up, and I hope that whomever is the QB is ready to air it out!
That's how it reads...That makes no sense to wait a week to post it unless they were trying to mend fences.
I wonder if this was a PAC 2 team?? or someone trying to sabotage are program?? i mean this is a whole new level of unprofessionalism IF he left because he was offered more money?? There has to be a TON of fallout because of this. If we lived in a reality where ethics was a thing then nobody should touch him with a TEN FOOT POLE! . I hope it not because we missed some payments. IF thats the case this will effect recruiting BIG TIME. IMO! IT shows that we are a small fish trying to play in a big pond.
Former PAC team if Sluka's Twitter account and recent follow of a coach is any kind of tell..
(ASU)
Um what? Have you seen the Cougs QB? John Mateer is now a Heisman Top 10 QB. And he will stay a Coug, and will see the NFL. Sluka, from what I saw, is a one trick pony. Sorry for you guys, what a lowlife POS he is.
I know I'm getting older when I start quoting my father...
I read the Sluka news and thought...
'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed '
All of college football needs to make an example of Sluka so the next one thinks twice. Make it universal that schit like this won't be tolerated. By the fans or respectable schools.
Would any respectable school pull this douche from the portal puting a target on their chest? I can't see it. They'd never live it down.
Leading me to believe he may have gotten the money he was looking for, but for leaving. This is a career ending move.
Or he was being replaced and pulled an even bigger douchy move.
One thing I know for sure is, if NIL money was promised and not fulfilled, Odom would have done everything in his power to make it right.

Man. I can't even sleep for a few hours without something new coming up .
So, I think this illustrates the problems with the NIL system being separated from the school. You can't claim poaching or recruiting tampering if the staff in question didn't offer him anything.
I'm not sure what the story is, but with Mickey leaving ND in the same fashion, I think you're going to see this 4 game window to redshirt used from time to time moving forward as part of the system working as intended.
The hard truth is that Sluka doesn't have any chance of making it in the NFL as a QB. His window to make 6 figures a season is extremely limited and if someone offers him more than what you can counter and he can leave, he's going to leave. This is how capitalism works in a system without any oversight or guard rails. I hate that he did it as a rebel fan, but as a capitalist it seems like if you didn't want the system to work like this you would have put in rules against it.

I didn't' have this on my bingo card this morning. Holy shit. I guess my dumpster fire avatar remains a bit longer.
All I have to say is that in life, sometimes things have a funny way of working out for the best.
To be fair, we changed starters last year in game 4, and that turned out ok. Different reasons of course. But its time for the HMW era.
Yeah F him I hope he tears an ACL wherever he goes. That shit should definitely not be allowed mid-season.
Break a leg, Sluka. Truly.
And and arm.
Also F*ck you I hope you end up living in a sewer.
