UNLV QB refuses to play rest of season

Lmfao

 

[phreddie]

Of course the school "sources" are going to say that, lol

total egg on their face. i just don't get what the agreement is if you take them at face value here? Could they prevent him from transferring?

 

[orangefog]

It’s a contract. He has to fulfill the contract before receiving money. A lot of these deals are appearance deals. So each time you show up to a signing event at the car dealership you get $50,000. He only gets that when he shows up, not a big bag of $ ahead of time.

And, none of it can be tied to playing football at UNLV. So, technically he could continue to make appearances and still force them to pay, right?

With Sluka now out of the picture, UNLV figures to turn to either senior transfer Hajj-Malik Williams or senior Cameron Friel as its starting quarterback.

I mean in the NFL if you have a contract and you don't show up up for a practice or a game late etc. you get fined. Is this something that could start happening now if players refuse to play?

Makes the Stanford loss even more arrgh worthy

I assume he has been there since the summer. In your example, he could have made a few appearances, received money and left. Again, who knows.

Well , we have a he said she said situation. Someone is lying ….. I know , it’s a shock !!!!

His contract can’t say anything about playing football for UNLV.

No celebration from me

They probably lose this week which means not ranked when we play.

It's easier to sell yourself and convince yourself things are going well if you have two top 25 wins first five games.

Plus

We have no idea how good the new QB ends up being

He may be less of a running threat but a way better passer

Please stop calling the GT win a top 25 win. They've beaten nobody. It was all smoke and mirrors based on their FSU win which turned out to be dog poop. They just got smoked by the Cards. Rankings don't mean squat until week 5.

Sorry guys this is all on me. I told him I would pay him 750k to not play against us and transfer to Cuse to be our starter next season.

 

[wfschrec]

Yup, this!!

Who cares if he’s a future pro?

I mean, that’s great and all, but what college teams need is a great college QB -
And Sluka is one.

He’s a Dungey-level talent.

What program (other than maybe the factories) wouldn’t want a guy who can help you win 10+ games next season?

He is no Dungy he is only completing 43% of his passes. Have you seen him throw? His style is great if you want to run the ball 50 times a game or you’re an FCS team but Dungey was far better.

If I were one of those QBs, I’d approach the other and say “We’re in a unique position of power here, we should hold out for more dough.”

I guess technically but we all know that's BS.

 

[Pyle]

If their back up knew our history with back ups, they’d be salivating.

He's only the backup this week. He's the starter next week so we should be ok.

See, that's the type of NIL support we need!

 

[orangefog]

I guess technically but we all know that's BS.

Well yeah, but an NFL contract is to play football for a certain team. An NIL deal is to make appearances or do other stupid crap. If he still completes those obligations, they technically have to pay him.

 

[Pyle]

I wonder what the JMU QB situation is...

I think with college football no one knows what happens. I mean Fran could take the Florida job, Chesney could ultimately end up at Syracuse. For someone to know what human nature will do is impossible.

It's year by year in college sports now.

JFC he just lost to a 9 pt dog at home and you're ready to hand him an SEC job? You may not know what's going to happen but I do. SEC teams don't hire coaches who lose like that in year 1. You better make the damn playoffs if you want something like that to happen.

You’re really going to use your Hair Club for Men money for this? You really do love Syracuse football.

I seriously doubt that they will continue to pay him though so this is going to open open up even more NIL issues. This is going to get get crazy throughout the entire NCAA.

A cautionary tale to all football and basketball schools:

If he fulfills his side of the contract, they would have to pay him. He would be a real douche for doing that. But, he could.

Yeah that's why I think both both parties will probably say it's a mutual breakup. He can then move into another college and rinse and repeat if he wanted.

Seems like we're past the point of mutual breakup. This is already ugly with both sides pointing at the other.
