The Inside Story on Sluka's Transfer

[Boston Rebel 2]

At least per CBS is that he was promised $100K and we denied that but offered $3K per month and it wasn't enough so he left. So basically he left over $64K???

Matthew Sluka deserts UNLV: Unfulfilled NIL promise drives starting QB of undefeated, CFP-hopeful to quit

It is not the first time a star player has left a college football team over money and in the Wild West era of barely-regulated transfer portal and NIL rules, it won't be the last

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.

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.

Spin... All spin... 6 months since February before season started to get it in writing and secured. Heck 3 months before you graduated, you couldve backed out and gone elsewhere. Thats on the agent.

Exactly. A verbal non-writing offer? And when was this supposed to be paid that he came here anyway without any money, at season's end?

 

[Bullmastiff 1]

Well funny thing.

I called the bank and left a message that I wanted to buy a house and I verbally agree to pay 500k.

I haven't heard back yet. It's weird. I mean I'm verbally agreeing. What do they want something in writing? As if!

 

[RebtillDeath]

Yeah it was $3,000 for 4 Months might wanna check your math Mr. Professor

??? Must be that highly intelligent trumper

So why did they say he went to Odom, when Odom didn’t make the “promise”? If I were Odom I would have told him to get back to practice too.

It means “the f*ck?” And it’s been common term used for a very long time.

Side note: I’m one that will absolutely annihilate you even if we are on the same Rebel side. Shoot your best shot, or sit down and be quiet.

Again, same side right now. Your choice.

He went to the coach because the agent wasnt getting anywhere with the NIL collective. They figured Odom would call them up and tell them to get it done and just keep things moving. Someone over valued their position.

Their narrative does not make sense. Someone walks up to someone else and says, "Hey, your buddy promised me money from a third group. I expect you to see that they pay it, now!!??"

Does that mean he pays Odom to be his agent? All I’m hearing is that his agent was incompetent and missed on a lot of steps.

That statement is a straight bullseye into Sluka's credibility... framing it as a pay for play conversation will make him untouchable for serious big programs..

Inhale schlong, Sluka.

His power play just blew up. I have a feeling this is going to get ugly.

Notice that they say "scholarships". Remind me when the NCAA changed the rules to allow schools to directly participate in NIL activities? Early this summer? So while we all know that schools/coaches have been quietly in the mix all along, wouldn't direct overtures be against the rules at the time?

I honestly have no clue how schools and collectives are handling this stuff. How does WSU make offers? Would a transfer agree to come in without having certainty of what the offer is? Seems unlikely.

Good they should poison him, his statement is pure bs. Now every school should think if they sign him it will be investigated.
