Nothing that Carl Reed tweeted is true. Reed is an ex football coach from STL. WTF would he or his sources have accurate info on? Sluka is from the east coast, so it's not like Reed has a long standing relationship with the family.

If there wasn't a Pinky Swear from UNLV it doesn't count.
He better be able to prove it was said. Could be just pulling things out of their arse to make their situation look better.

What a cluster...
I have a few questions regarding NIL, and I'm not sure that anyone really knows the answer.
1. Who determines the amount to offer players, and how is that offer conveyed to a player/recruit?
2. How is an offer accepted? In the old days, you'd sign your LOI, and then eventually your scholly papers. Is the NIL paperwork integrated into the LOI package?
3. Does a school (UNLV in this case) have any responsibility to ensure that NIL agreements match what the player/coaches have discussed?
4. Does a school have any recourse if a player breaks their NIL agreement and walks away mid season?
5. Are there any rules for tampering anymore?

He's also got two of Odom's son following him. I'm pretty sure he has his sources in check.
So from what I gather. Agent is saying UNLV NIL collective promised a large sum of money/car via handshake and didn't get anything in writing. Sluka went to collect and UNLV told him to kick rocks?
Sounds like he learned an important life lesson.
Agent is an idiot.

If it’s not in writing, it never happened.
What he saw was Lambos being given to P4 school players... His BMW didnt look as nice
If he tried to renegotiate his deal after the season started then they need to make changes to the NIL. This is something they can implement. Every school will be on board. I was not a big fan of Sluka , loved his toughness and running ability as a QB ,but he almost always tried for the HR ball. HIS bravado seemed like he wanted to play HERO BALL! How many short passes did u see him make? IMO Marion seemed upset with the way the O was running. That is why Odom said we will win some ugly games!
Dude does anyone else’s middle finger hurt.
I think I have trigger finger
uncle Cliff failed us..
What a scumbag....
So he signed with an unprepared NIL agent who didn't get any offers in writing... Sounds like a business lesson..
If true. He didn't have a licensed agent who has a legal duty of fiduciary care in NV. An agent who advised him to take a verbal deal and wait it out until he get's his state license and negotiate from there. The whole scenario sounds absurd all the way around.
Great choice of an agent btw.
This is about as believable as someone claiming they saw Elvis walking down the Strip...
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.
Here is a detailed article by espn with lots of quotes
Now his agent is saying if they can get a deal in place hed be open to returning.. That tells me all I need to know about who is at fault here...You dont come out and say that unless this was not well received by coaches you were hearing from ..
F*** THAT I’d rather lose the rest of our games than get this little shit back. He can go be a twat somewhere else. His dad? Don’t get me started
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
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.
What court.. Hes not suing the school, hes simply saying hes quitting the job to go elsewhere.
GOOD PISS OFF TO THE B1G and disappear for life. Woohoo you made a million bucks. Some inbred from Reno living in a trailer just hit that on a slot. Another guy who could have been immortalized next to Odoms statue is now canonized as one of the roundest, cheese-wheel-like chodes in our city’s history.
Can you call the NIL group and make sure Hajj or White or Woodard arent asking for an increase... lol
They certainly should and a CBS article quotes Odom as saying they do everything in writing. So you would think they are covered!
I can tell you this, when a person alleges someone told them something outrageous verbally (when ALL other deals have been done in writing), the probability that conversation ever happened is .9%. In my experience.
"Rickey White is FREEEEEE" Should be on every poster in Allegiant this Saturday,
I'm not going to make an uninformed judgement. But, Coach Odom has a very good reputation. Look at the number of players followed him from other schools. To me, that shows loyalty. Additionally, we have a couple of All-Americans on the team, and there doesn't seem to be a problem with broken promises. Fact that Sluka's family went out and got an agent doesn't bode well for him. Technically a verbal is not a binding contract. Likewise, it wasn't Odom who promised him anything, it was an assistant coach (so they say). I find it far more plausible the he did get NIL money but was not satisfied when the team did well after the wins. Also, stories out there that Sluka went to Odom's office and demanded $300,000 more on Monday also sounds plausible. If he hadn't been paid the full $100,000 why would he up the ante?
So does the agent get his percentage of the handshake deal? Plus, I heard the collective rep had his fingers crossed when the made the handshake so it didn't count.
Sorry. Super late to the party
More like Sluka Gone-bitch, amirite!?!?
But seriously I find it hard to believe that we can't afford 100k for a Qb1 and that we only offered 12k and no living expenses. I smell a bunch of spin from their camp.

From what I've seen, this is getting really ugly for Sluka REALLY fast.
I really like the statement UNLV released. "UNLV doesn't respond to implied threats"
You can't let this piece of shite "agent" try to make a power move. These guys really looking like clowns the more this progresses.

Great point, Mr. Sluka.
Grimala reporting Sluka had no agent when he committed to UNLV.
I will give Sluka his running ability for the win verse Kansas, but on the other side he couldn't move the ball at all through the air which is the only reason UNLV had to have his running abilities win the game at the end verse Kansas. When Jackson Woodard intercepted and returned the ball to the Kansas 4 yard line, Sluka couldn't move the ball at all and had to settle for a field goal. Sluka got lucky at the end of the half to score a TD on a pass when he had totally screwed up the clock management.
In the second half this is what Sluka did:
4 plays -1 yards
3 plays -2 yards
3 plays 0 yards
Final series of plays:
18 plays for 75 yards that included a lucky fumble that was due to Sluka not protecting the ball, and it was in the hand of a half dozen Kansas players before a lucky bounce or ten put it into the hands of a UNLV player.
I put this win 90% on the back of a great defense that fixed the lack of offense by Sluka.
I just hope his replacement can actually pass the ball and doesn't ask for MORE MONEY after 3 more games!
As for Sluka - He could be a movie star!
