Father and son. Love this. Congratulations UNLV and Barry Odom and staff. First 4-0 start since 1976 when the school was a Div II program. @unlvfootball#UNLVFB
@Cheese_hope@KlassyDogs That wave was really cool - and we were mostly all in red. Rebel fans havent seen one of those go four times around in a long time. Good luck in the PAC. We will miss the rivalries.
All financial commitments for UNLV QB Matthew Sluka were completely met.
But after wins against KU and Houston, Sluka’s family hired an agent and they collectively feel that his market value has increased, per source.
[Per Sources] UNLV HC Barry Odom's unofficial policy has been that all position groups get the same NIL packages jointly. QB Matt Sluka was approached by an agent during their bye this week, who apparently convinced him to push for more as an individual.
@PeteThamel That sounds like BS from the agent to cover his ass. If this were true, then he didn’t do his job, because who does anything on a verbal agreement? From an assistant? This didn’t happen, Sluka just upped his price to $300K after 3 games and was told no.
UNLV ATHLETICS STATEMENT:
Football player Matthew Sluka's reps made financial demands upon the University and its NIL collective in order to continue playing. UNLV Athletics interpreted these demands as a violation of the NCAA pay-for-play rules, as well as Nevada state law.
