Call them what they are—professional football players.
If they made promises they couldn’t keep, I don’t blame him.
Matthew Sluka’s only responsibility is to do what is in the best interest of Matthew Sluka
A comma is not the same as a period. Fire the editor.
Just make minor league football leagues and be over it.
It’s just awful what they’ve done. I actually thought it was funny when my OU boys lost last week. They deserve it.
Mike Gundy is one of the few coaches to call a spade a spade.
So much for amateur sports after High School.
College sports are a great hypocrisy. The schools and the coaches get rich. The “student athletes” are not educated and most leave school with life long debilitating injuries.
Someone will use this to continue the argument for player unions.
I watched college football for about 60 years, it was a good run.
As the old Tallahassee band the Know-It-Alls once sang:
‘Don’t cry, don’t pretend to pretend
All good things, must come to an end’
- ‘Love Is Dead’
Don’t blame him. He should sue UNLV for the rest of the money. He’d likely win.
His QBR IS 27th in the country. A fairly low number of attempts per game, so I guess UNLV is probably more of a running team. Even then, his rushing stats are much better than most QBs.
Can’t believe there aren’t casino owners who can’t come up with the funds to pay the guy; or, maybe there’s another QB UNLV wants to play a lot more.
The guy made a wise business decision. Will be interested to see if UNLV comes up with the promised money before the next game. Still two more days if they are scheduled to play this weekend.
This will.definitely hurt recruiting.
I remember when all the talk was about this NIL thing, letting the kids get paid and it seemed like a good thing at the time but of course it opens up many, many cans of worms and will continue to do so. Some University programs will flourish, many will flounder to the point of failure since they won’t be able to get media attention like a Notre Dame or a Nebraska, Miami...etc. Too bad but that’s progress in the big city kids.
Bet he gets it in writing next time
College semi pro sports is a joke. Like pro sports, I have no interest in it anymore.
