Definitely a tough lessen to learn for the guy. But, I can’t argue with his decision to protect his eligibility. Stinks for the rest of the currently undefeated UNLV team that they sold their starting qb a bill of goods.
He might have gotten his prestigious Holy Cross degree, he played there four seasons, got them in the Championship series multiple times and to the FCS quarterfinals, 2022, holds many of HC's QB records. From Kellenberg on the Island.
I hope he did. I just worry that more and more coaches and collectives will pull this sorta nonsense then leave the player with two choices a) leave the team (letting down your teammates) and redshirting (delaying your future finances a year) or b) getting stiffed by people you trusted and working for free.
A reason the kids should have an agent to guide/protect them in the NIL process
You are likely going to end up very right on this. I assumed the PAC leaders were competent, and that is looking like a mistake on my part.
100%. In his case, he had an agent who wasn’t registered in Nevada (bad decision for someone considering UNLV). Apparently the collective advised him to deal with the coach directly (another bad decision by him) and he took the coach at his word (third bad decision). This is according to his press release.
You're also missing the most glaring misjudgment. The reason MWC was able to keep Air Force and UNLV was by distributing the exit fees the PAC will be paying MWC!
Has a psychology degree from HC.

Glad to hear he got his degree. Fingers crossed he’ll get some money for football next year and maybe get a masters out of it. Smart of him to only play 3 games as 4 or less preserves your redshirt eligibility.
And a year at a Prep School in Jersey.
Maybe I misunderstood this article, but all it seems to say is UNLV held it's end of the bargain. It's my understanding that the school can only offer a scholarship, which UNLV no doubt honored. Any NIL has to be independently negotiated through an unaffiliated collective. It didn't dispute the fact/remained silent on the most damning accusation that an OC promised him 100k.Seems 2 sides
Money grab accusations fly after UNLV QB Matt Sluka’s shocking exit
UNLV is claiming former quarterback Matt Sluka is bluffing when it comes to his shocking decision to leave the program due to a $100,000 NIL dispute.
). I'll take my NIL opinions to a more appropriate place. Sorry for derailing the thread.My son easily could have went to Chaminade and chose Kellenberg. As was the case with most of his classmates.
And the reason the PAC-12 was able to get those 5 other schools was from their control of the TV revenue left by the 10 departed former PAC-12 teams. What a mess!
And the poaching fees they just contracted for this year!
I wonder if conferences have outlived their use? The realignment is just getting silly.
I’m sure the commissioners and the other higher up$ would argue the opposite
