Starting QB for the Rebels quit after the school evidently reneged on an NIL commitment. He can take redshirt and have one last chance to cash in next year. UNLV is 3-0 and supposedly one of the favorites from G5 to make the playoff. What a world we've created in college football.

Good for him. Used the only leverage he had.
One more reason why we need contracts for these professional athletes.
Don't disagree with that at all.
But now reports are that all NIL agreements were met, but the kid and his family hired an agent because they came to believe he was worth more. Looking at his numbers, I can't imagine why lol. Who knows what the truth is.
So the kids flat out lying? I’m sure there is more to the story but seems weird he would opt out of playing anymore this season and telling media he is not getting what was committed to him if he was getting what was agreed to.
Wonder how this works with his scholarship. Did he quit UNLV the school or just the football team?
Not sure if he would get drafted, but huge gamble on his part to essentially throw away what may be a magical year.

What happens when your bribery payment doesn’t work out? LOL
And another reason why these public institutions of higher learning funded by taxpayer dollars shouldn't be involved in running minor league professional sports franchises.
From reading the article, this is where things get weird because it's not supposed to be the school itself or the coaches offering the NIL benefits. That's why the collective is there. So in theory there shouldn't be any validity to the assistant coach's 'offer.' This had to come to a head somewhere at some point. Here we are, so I'm curious to see how it plays out.
Thought there was a rule passed recently that schools could start directly paying players. Assume Nevada is a state that allows this.
43% completion percentage. Maybe we’ll go after him.
The article I read at espn said the schools do offer they just can’t pay it. They offer and have to expect the collectives to pay up. The head coach said the $100,000 offer was not valise because it came from the OC and not the HC which is nonsensical. He did get an official offer of $3,000 a month for 4 months but only paid him the first over the summer and stopped paying him. The school is not denying the OC offered him $100,000 but the collective never paid.
It wasn’t just an assistant it was the offensive coordinator and he told him in person. And the school did not deny it. When the agent pushed they threw up their defense shields and said now they can’t pay it because it would have been a violation since it was a pay to come there. They’ve given him $3,000 of the $100,000 they verbally told him he would get if he came and then when he showed up it changed to $12,000 in 4 installments and they only paid him 1. It’s garbage and this needs to be fixed. None of you would stay at a job if they only paid you 3% of what you were supposed to get paid.
What deep pockets do you think the legal beagles will go after, the folks who offered up the nil. or the school pulling in tens of millions that wanted them to play there?
Or 1. Or 2. Or 3. I don’t care but these kids need to learn about honoring commitments and contracts!
grad transfers get 1 or 2 year contracts with exceptions to extend. Straight from high school 3 years.
