Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5387991, member: 173"] The problem was that you weren't supposed to negotiate NIL prior to signing with a school - so the initial discussions were all verbal and easy to break. I'm pretty sure this is what happened to Sluka. He signed with UNLV based on promises they made, but then the UNLV coach realized he had at least a peer level QB to Sluka, backed out on NIL commitments that were never signed and didn't care when he quit. This needs to get to a point where any money is negotiated up front and is part of the signing process for players. I agree with you that its happening more often than just Sluka - just that most players have just accepted getting ripped off is part of the deal. (It somewhat impressive that we've managed to create a system which is even more immoral than just using players for free labor...but we pulled it off!) [/QUOTE]
