Again, why is the NCAA the culprit when the NCAA faught NIL all the way to the US Supreme Court and lost 9-0. They had no choice but to promptly rescind the NCAA rule prohibiting compensation.
UNLV QB suddenly quits. Did he not get paid?
- Thread starter BonzoFury
- Start date
Some yes, most no. A bunch of guys on the roster get little or nothing beyond the traditional scholly. The stars get the big NIL $
That’s because they always get all the back pay.
Essentially paid time off as long as you’re not living paycheck to paycheck.
My source says he was getting paid. Asked coach for more $$ and he was told to take a hike. Nil
Exactly. They fought it, when for years it was obvious that they instead should’ve been trying to help put up guardrails. This (NIL and the benefits/consequences) is not something that caught anyone by surprise. It’s like the scene in Austin Powers when the guy gets run over by the steamroller.
They’ve been draconian and reactionary at every possible step, and have generally been an absolute joke as a governing body.
If it's a situation of "bait and switch" ... then I would disagree.
However, as you point out, it seems like he HAS gotten paid already. Thus, assuming this is the case - then this illustrates how morally bankrupt the whole NIL situation is. Because yeah ... if he's already wanting to head for where the grass is greener due to a better offer ... then that is not only a sign of tampering ... but it's also a sign that the kid isn't abiding by the terms of his prior agreement. When that happens ... I'm cool with it blowing up in his face.
No, I'm not kidding. From the sound of it, promises were made to him to get him to come to UNLV from Holy Cross. He gets there, promises aren't fulfilled but he continues to play despite that and takes the team to a 3-0 record. Promises still not being fulfilled, he says enough is enough and sits. That's a difficult decision.
I have a hard time believing that.
Guessing more promises where made to the QB via his agent then were actually finalized by the actual NIL purse holders.
Another case of “if it isn’t in writing and signed it’s likely bullshit”.
Thought this pay for play would be past this obvious nuance by now.

Sounds like a lot of he said – he said on this but it’s looking more like an asst coach may have made a promise without the NIL group signing off. So yeah… it could be on the coaches
What type of legal guardrails could the NCAA implement concerning student-athlete outside compensation? The NCAA is not a party to the sponsor/athlete contract.
It's stories like this that make me want to just watch HS football, until it gets destroyed by NIL deals too. Then you'll find me at the local fields watching youth flag football. LOL ..😳
From latest espn....
Qb visited last spring with oc, had handshake agreement for $100,000.
Transfers and is given $3000 for moving expenses. Claims to not have received anything additionally. Has been told the agreement is $3000 per month for 4 months per nil/head coach.
Qb and father says this is not what was agreed to, had better offers elsewhere if that were truly the case
Nil says they know nothing about the $100,000 agreement . head coach says the oc didnt have the authority to make that deal.
Oc isnt talking.
So, qb is walking an will re-enter the portal

Exactly what's wrong with the liberal transfer rules. They cause great collateral damage to many people. Think of it like robber barons of the 19th century. The NIL is not regulated. The transfers aren't regulated.
lol if true. I believe it’s the same OC that everybody was pining for to come to Iowa at one point.
It does appear the player was under the impression of more money. The question is this accurate. Without the OC willing to comment and the HC saying it wasn't a valid offer because it wasn't offered by him, it seems to validate the players version of the events. Now granted, he is likely going to get a much higher offer as well after 2 good games, can likely go to a decent Division 1 school, heard current offers for a QB are in the 1 million range. Really crazy story.
Coach said any offer made by an assistant coach don't count if it isn't from him. If the OC is let go at some point we will know the answer.
I thought he claimed the OC offered $100k? Coaches can’t technically pay the players. Also,
besides the point, wouldn’t you have a contract or something in writing for an NIL deal? It seems like a lot of things went wrong here. There shouldn’t be a situation where this happens. This is why there needs to be a commissioner of college athletics. I won’t be surprised when conferences break away from the NCAA.
Fair point. Then again, I thought NIL offers aren't "supposed to" come from school or team personnel.
Go read the Jayden Rashada lawsuit. The offer came from the head coach. I have a feeling most deals and offers are being communicated by the coaches. That is who they are dealing with.
Probably, but then it makes the whole narrative of "schools aren't directly involved" crumble.
He will also get a massive pay day by taking the redshirt and having 2 wins under his belt. The whole thing is a mess. No contract in writing it appears. An OC possibly gave an offer he couldn't fulfill. You now have a QB who wants out to get a massive payday.
Even the NFL doesn't allow that. Shows how much the "college" in "college football" has faded...
Isn't that what everyone said, that this is the freaking wild west. Its pretty clear there is a lot of gray going on, and some uneducated individuals in what a valid contract is. I am not saying the players is completely void of any blame in this situation. He is looking for a massive pay day and is willing to throw his coaches and school under the bus to get it.
Which actually shouldn't surprise Hawkeye fans, given the behavior of a couple lost recruits and former players.
I don't know who is right and who is wrong.
But it sucks.
But it sucks.
UNLV’s QB Dispute Over NIL Is a New Twist on an Old Principle
There’s no shortage of disagreements that stem from two people thinking they agreed on something during a conversation only to later disagree about that thing. Sometimes the argument involves parents and a child. Sometimes it’s between a boss and an employee. Sometimes two spouses are certain...

This 76 year old shakes his head over what is NCAA athletics. Amatetur, really????
Looks like UNLV is in some trouble...
That has nothing to do with the NIL, basically wants 2 years to go somewhere else for a better opportunity. Again, just a freaking mess. You have a 3 and 0 team, beat 2 power conference teams and the wheels fall off.
