UNLV is claiming former quarterback Matt Sluka is bluffing when it comes to his shocking decision to leave the program, the Rebels’ athletic program and Name Image Likeness collective are claiming Sluka’s actions were instead an attempt to cash in on a hot start and receive more money than had previously been negotiated.
“Football player Matthew Sluka’s representative 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. UNLV does not engage in such activity, nor does it respond to implied threats. UNLV has honored all previously agreed-upon scholarships for Matthew Sluka.
“The collective is in great shape and has made every payment that it’s needed to make and stood up to every obligation we’ve been contracted to do. Everything we do is contracted, we don’t do anything verbally. We have documentation on every deal we do. There was nothing for this guy. He received $3,000 from us this summer and that was it. We took care of that.”
