Agreed… but I would have to find other reasons to smoke my meat!
“QB Matthew Sluka to exit UNLV, says 'representations' not upheld” (NIL)
- Thread starter BobPSU92
- Start date
2025: Starting tonight at QB for the Mazatlan College Tortillas, matt sluka.
No doubt there are teams who would "hire" Mr. Sluka after all these shenanigans but imo he is brewing a toxic brand. Is he planning on going on strike, after a few games, with every team? Does he care about impact to his current and future teammates?
Seems to be a "cut off his nose to spite his face" scenario. /shrug

43% completion rate and 318 yards passing through three games. Will be in very high demand.
Tough squad plus you get a free drink and a taco if you stay. Somebody in western PA has to up their game.
You posters need to round up $700,000 for me by Friday or I’m taking my posts elsewhere.
Makes you think a long term investment in a stadium could be a bad idea when college football implodes. Glad the BOT has got this!
I’m shocked at how easily this is all discarded now. No commitment to your team or your teammates.
UNLV is having a great season for them so far. 3-0. Ranked (#23 coaches poll) for the first time ever from what I’ve read. There was a ton of hype on campus over this season and now their starting QB has decided to call it quits 3 games in because he thinks he’s owed more money. One of their RBs has now also announced he’s leaving.
Their coach is likely working overtime now just to keep the rest of the team intact.
I have no idea what was or wasn’t said to this QB regarding $100,000. The UNLV administration and lawyers have certainly looked into it and circled the wagons calling him out. At the very least he was an idiot for believing something that wasn’t in writing, (assuming his version of the story is even accurate).
I'm not following the puts and takes of the situation, so am not taking a side in that. I just wonder what his teammates think. Unfortunately, the locker room is probably split and team chemistry affected. Whether that harms or hurts the results, time will tell.
Pessimistically, this is probably just the first shot fired in the war - hopefully Penn State can avoid being dragged into it. Seems they handled the KLS situation reasonably well.
I know the genie is long out of the bottle, but I've always thought the game was more fun when Beaver Stadium sat 55.000. and you could park anywhere you wanted to just by getting there early.
Wait a minute. This kid signed because of representations by the university. They reneged on his deal and HE’S the problem?
Once that North Deck went up, everything changed, parking, crowded shopping, breakfast lines,but it was necessary for expansion.
There are a lot of problems in this scenario and yes, he's one of them. If you're going to hire an agent, make sure they don't steer you in the wrong direction - get whatever it is you are promised in writing and documented.
He's not a kid. He's a fifth year grad student transfer looking to make a buck. He could have just declared for the NFL draft and made the same to be a camp arm for a few weeks this spring.
for fuks sake- I'm so done with all this crap
Bob, i hope you get compensated well for your wisdom.
And once PSU joined the Big, the Campus totally changed and modernized, not a complaint, just an observation.
Why work hard and fight for a playing spot when you can quit after just three games and wait until next year, somewhere else?
For f*ck’s sake.
If Bob feels he’s not compensated well enough- will he be using the portal to go to another board? Someone needs to increase his scone and latte allowance.

I am compensating.
I saw this one earlier today. Some folks say the CFB is now the same as professional football. But in some ways, CFB is much worse.
For example, there are no checks and balances to try to maintain a level playing field in CFB. But more importantly, CFB players have no incentive to do anything for the good of their sport (or product, if you prefer). They are moving on from CFB in a year or two, no matter what. So they are going to maximize their earning potential, possibly to the detriment of the program they are playing for.
The next shoe to drop will be when a star player sits out of the CFB playoffs in order to avoid injury before the draft. That is coming.
Well that’s the kid’s side of the story. The college said some of the things he asked for were illegal. Serious question, unless he is the second coming of Tom Brady, who would want this kid now?
