Well the Athletic just posted an article basically backing up everything the kid said - with both the agent and father going on the record as being promised 100K, agent even saying he negotiated the deal?, and that UNLV NIL refused to honor it.  Indeed they were offered 4 monthly payments totaling $12,000, to go with a prior $3,000 payment..  and this offer only came after the 3-0 start, it sounds like before then they were not going to pay him anything.
Seriously, in todays NIL world, who is going to go to a school that can only pay $15,000 to the schools best player.
Frankly, I applaud the player for pointing out how badly he was treated, how penny ante UNLV's NIL is (and we thought we had problems competing!) and for taking control and saying he is outta there.

Considering how much they are paying the coach each year, it seems incredibly stupid and short sighted to treat your star player like pond scum. I would not be surprised if other UNLV players decide to transfer after the season. And it certainly is going to hurt the schools ability to get future transfers.
