Players Union. Collective Bargaining Agreement. Actual Written Rules and Contracts. Every single professional league does this. It ain’t rocket science
Sure, and literally everyone knows this….but there’s no “league” to govern or negotiate with. We’re in a gradual process of consolidating teams, building our structure, negotiating TV deals, deciding what will happen to the lower tier FBS clubs in these scenarios etc. Contracts will be an element here. Mostly this isn’t an issue because any NIL dispute becomes a major story. Only the alleged 13 million Rashida offer(which made ZERO sense to hand a HS QB considering how often 5stars don’t pan out) and this low rent UNLV 100K deal have become big deals. Players, agents, and programs are already mostly sophisticated enough to avoid these issues and have actual written contracts that ensure payouts. Hell, the Rashida one fell through before he went there so this UNLV thing is really the only major story in the space. It’s not actually the problem it’s being painted as and it will be solved shortly anyway
So the kid that committed, played and graduated in 4 years at holy Cross is now a quitter? I'm not buying that. He clearly expected something to go to UNLV and it was not given.
He is playing a fifth year of college football because he can't throw at an NFL level let alone a CFL level. As a QB you evolve or in his case he played like a running QB. Clearly the kid can't throw the football.The kid has an agent some zero named "Marcus" who claims his client had a verbal from an UNLV assistant to pay out $100,000. So if "Marcus" was doing his job as an agent why didn't he get the arrangement in writing? As for his Dad's comments he can can take the train. The kid is an adult. Guess you did not raise him to have any financial savvy. What do they teach at Holy Cross?
@@jeffreymancini409what does him not being able to throw a ball have to do with him going to UNLV for 100k and then leaving when he didn’t get that sum of money?
Agree with your comment. And as far as proof, how about UNLV shows us proof of all the deals they did sign so we can determine that UNLV does put these deals in writing? Let's start the debate there. Then at least I'll give the Rebels a bit of a break to start.
@@PrimeSportsNetwork UNLV has been a football wasteland the last forty years. I think magnifying this issue from a big Power 4 conference perspective would be a better start.
He just got to UNLV so there's No Loyalty to the University and His Teammates, Especially because He chose to transfer there mostly due to the NIL Deal.
Who has access to it? You think the player and his people will read all the fine print? Will the school honor it? Will the player? If one side doesn’t who’s gonna check them? Call the cops? Get the NCAA involved? He’s already not playing, are they just gonna suspend him? Simple anything does nothing here, and if it ever does someone’s gonna find loopholes and take advantage. You gotta spell out *every possibility and eventuality* or someone’s getting screwed.
Huh? Why would he let them use up his redshirt just assuming he's going to get his money and they won't find a way to wiggle out of it? This kid isn't going to see the NFL. There is no reason he should waste his last year of eligibility.
Knowing nothing but what I have heard today I was also thinking, he probably feels he has no prospects of going pro. Getting his$$ now even a small amount.
collective bargaining, the CFPA was already lobbying for union recognition before NIL, and I hope they keep pushing it forward. This needs to be codified to protect both parties. Put things in writing!
I have never liked the argument of saying the athlete is not thinking of the fans or their teammates. if you are an employee and your employer is not paying you what was promised, you are quitting that day if it doesnt get resolved. No one says why arent you thinking of your clients and coworkers. Its the employers responsibility to pay what was agreed to.
There’s a lot of blame to go around here, but Sluka and his father relied on a verbal commitment from an offensive coordinator? Seriously? It’s like “You said you’d sell me the car for 10k under sticker.” “No I didn’t. The salesman said that.”
This is going to make it impossible for UNLV to recruit any-star recruits ever again. Coaching staff probably has to go, NO players will go there ever again
He should sue them. Do you know how much they made off of him? Now it will have to be limited to direct sales due to his likeness but he can try. This is probably due to him feeling the school left him high and dry during this time.
isn't this the exact reason you hire an agent in the first place ? i mean you can buy a house on your own but most people pay 5% to be protected in this process......
NIL has benefited players and yet it’s opened Pandora’s box. I started watching CFB when Matt Leinart and Reggie were on top of the world at USC. Ironically Reggie is suing and the NIL deals are going to make it to where colleges will transfer the NIL payments for players onto the consumer (fans). As Tennessee is going to do because they aren’t gonna cut it from their profits. Just a messy situation
This isn't really new. MJ Morris did this last year. He played four games, and chose to sit out to keep his redshirt and transfer. Coaches have shut players down who played in four games and they knew their season wasn't going to be good enough to justify burning their redshirt. I think that happened in large numbers a few years back at Houston. Sluka should have gotten everything in writing, but didn't. He has one last bit of leverage, and is using it. If he isn't a pro passer, and I don't claim to have watched him so will take Bruce's word that he is more of a runner than a passer, then this is his last best opportunity to makes some money off football. There is nothing wrong with it. The college sports world isn't ending. Rich probably heard the famous story of Bill Frieder announcing he was leaving Michigan for Arizona State prior to the 1989 NCAA Tournament. He wasn't allowed to coach in it, and Michigan ended up winning it. The world didn't stop spinning when the coaches quit on their teams in-season to go make more money elsewhere. The player guys are making money for the universities and their head coaches millionaires. If Sluka wants to have some money in the bank for when he starts putting his Holy Cross degree to work, then good for him.
So the adults are still trying to exploit the players by creating shady and non-specific deals that can be manipulated? Now the lawyers have to get involved.
As crazy as it sounds.. they should co tactics the schools that have been paying players for decades, the Ohio State's the SEC teams and get how they've managed to do the books legal. It can't hurt
They should just disassociate from universities at this point, otherwise you’re going to have to pay them with a college budget and not off the boosters. They’ll then pass the cost on to normal students as a F U. Either be a student athlete with NIL or become an employee with a CBA and the whole shebang with no student athlete BS.
I would like to see college football start operating like European football. The play commits and signs with the university and then if another school wants them they can pay a fee/ release clause to get them. It should be a win/win because this situation doesn’t make anybody look good.
You guys aren’t lawyers and until you have lawyers on your program to explain the basic contract principles at issue and you will continue to tread water on this. Right now NIL in the college football space is unregulated and thus each and every NIL agreement is an arms-length transaction specific to that player and school where each and every term is negotiable. Thus, it is absolutely crucial that the player retain counsel and utilize counsel to negotiate and memorialize in writing the specific terms and conditions of an NIL agreement.
There are no signed deals. That's the point. It's currently the Wild West out there, until the NCAA can grow a spine as set some guidelines for this new way of college sports.
Hes actuslly got decent stats when u combine rushing and passing plus his td/int is good so their losing a proto college qb..... And his holy cross stats are also pretty good so send him to duke and i bet we make a big bowl game
happens all the time...players have five years to play four in most situations...if a player can do the work to graduate before his eligibility is used, they can still play if still taking classes...
As a UNLV FAN sluka doesn’t deserve 50k let alone 100k .. his throwing was so bad . He’s not a good QB . I’m honestly glad he’s gone . Now hajj will get his chance to play and so will the other senior on the team. It might honestly be a good thing sluka is gone
I would love for someone to explain how a college can commit to a certain amount of money? Where does the actual money come from that they are committing? I know how NIL can generate money for a player but I wlays thought that we something the player and their agent generate using the name image and likelness, but how does a college generate that for a player? Its all screwed up if this is just the college paying a collective basically the players salery, then the collective pays the player? Isnt that just laundering money?
NIL...name image likeness...allows players to do things like be paid for print ads or tv/radio commercials unlike before NIL came in...make money off their image....the collectives are not given money by the school...usually consists of school grad booster/donor groups-businessmen and the like-that commit money into the collective (pool) that is used to provide money to players transferring into a school...
@@brianmyers4444 Thanks for the answer. So, money from the collective from donors, ect is what this dispute is about? It has nothing to do with the player or their agensts monitizing themselves on Instagran, ect?

Players Union. Collective Bargaining Agreement. Actual Written Rules and Contracts. Every single professional league does this. It ain’t rocket science
Salary cap and no switching teams every year .
The funny thing is, Northwestern's football team tried to do that and were cock blocked by the NCAA.
Semi pro sports league: college athletics
Except in a union everyone gets paid the same and leads to lower quality of work comrade

The Universities and colleges should be paying the players as part of their scholarship offer/contract. Not sloughing it off to third party boosters.
Best WR in the country at Miami? GTFO
Im sorry but Bruce doesn't sound like an insider at all and has no more information than the general public.
10 minutes of Bruce and Rich going back and fourth saying “I don’t know”
This story is huge. Might be the precipice of regulations and bargaining agreements in the NIL.

No sure how legal NIL retroacative payments are. You can't sue for something that did not exist. when the action occurred.
How about Reggie Bush opening another can of worms suing USC?
He should sue them. Do you know how much they made off of him? Now it will have to be limited to direct sales due to his likeness but he can try.
