Idk, if someone told me I was getting a 100k NIL deal and then told me once I was already playing that they actually weren't giving me 100k, I'd probably stab them.
It’s funny seeing the backlash these guys have gotten. If you showed up to work for a month but never got paid you wouldn’t go back.
If some assistant manager promised me $500k and a Lambo at some unspecified future date and I started working under that arrangement, I'd deserve to not get paid.
4. All of the above
Thats not what has been reported. He is saying they had a verbal agreement and their NIL said they don’t but he isn’t the only player claiming this. As much as other teams wanted Sluka I’d be shocked if he decided to go to a school with no NIL agreement.
If you have a verbal agreement to get paid especially one with an assistant coach (which has also been reported by Pete Thamel), you didn't have an agreement with the people who actually pay the money.
Being an adult is also walking away when someone promised something but didn’t deliver. Yes he should have had a legal agreement and known an assistant coach wasn’t the person to get the deal done. Still don’t blame either one of them for walking away.
By rule you cannot have anything signed around money until after you enroll.
And you can't have an amount dependent on performance/starting. Could have promised him a certain dollar amount if he won the starting job. Can't have that in writing though because that's illegal.
"Hey you'll be signing a $100k contract to pimp ISIS Toyota's, here is the contract but we can't finalize until you enroll in July"
Yeah I don't necessarily blame him for leaving but he looks like as much of a chode as they do in all this which is not what I'd be trying to market myself to get paid at my next stop
I’d also fire the agent. The agent should be the one to know how all this shit works, should’ve known it should be in writing, yada yada yada. Regardless of what was said and agreed upon by either side, sounds like his representation really dropped the ball on how they represented the player.
i think the point you’re making is a two way street. The coach who promised something he wasn’t in a position to deliver is learning what being an adult looks like as well. If you promise someone something in order to get them to do what you want, in this case commit to UNLV, but you don’t intend to keep that promise, don’t be surprised when that person tells you to eat shit.
Lol right? That's kind of why I believe the UNLV account that he got an agent and came around looking for money after the fact because why on earth would you still be paying this dude to continue to not get you your money?
