    Former Holy Cross star QB Sluka Sulking

    Refuses to play another down at UNLV because of "misrepresentations."

    UNLV's starting QB says he will no longer play over 'representations' that `were not upheld' (yahoo.com)

    I can only assume that he was promised $$$ that was not delivered.

    I think he got what was promised. I also think his agent thinks he should get more and other teams would give him more. He asked for more and was told no by the coach. Now is quitting the team.

    On one hand I get the move to hopefully make more money elsewhere.
    On the other hand what a ****ing loser.

    I'm starting to think this is correct. He "reportedly" walked into Coach Odom's office and demanded 300K. I highly doubt Matt was promised 300K last year when he was a late signee not even guaranteed the starting QB1 role. So, I'm thinking he was trying to up the ante based on current perceived offers. Either that or he was promised a lesser amount (which makes sense given he was NOT the guaranteed starter and didn't play spring) and UNLV NIL collective has stiffed him so far on whatever THAT amount was.

    Here is an issue for Matt IMO -- he still only has one year of eligibility left. So, aside from the fact that he has more time to shop offers and can play spring this time around, he doesn't any more leverage than he had last year. I guess he has proven that he can play at a high-G5 level, so he has that going for him.

    At a glance, this thought: what if this is not NIL, but that a P3 team is interested in him next year and has made it clear he has an offer if he preserves his eligibiity?

    That's exactly the theory that was posited (without source or evidence) in the Athlon Sports article.

    Has he? He has yet to complete 50% of his passes in any game this year, and has thrown for over 100 yards once in 3 games (161 against FCS Utah Tech). He does have a nice 6:1 TD to interception ratio and he is still a great runner, 253 yards at 6.5 ypc through 3 games. Overall not terrible but not all that great either.

    Shouuld he be better off going pro after this season? Maybe the CFL?
    All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

    Perhaps he would have been better off to just stay at Holy Cross?

    I can imagine this more and more since NIL deals are not directly with the schools - promises will be made during recruiting and not followed through. I guess that's part of what you get when you go from "amateur" to "pro".

    Apparently OC said 100K...and HC when questioned by Slukas dad said I didnt promise that!
