Former UNLV quarterback Matt Sluka sent shockwaves through college football on Wednesday when news broke that he would leave the team because the “representations” of the NIL money he would earn were not as promisedNow there is some clarity about what Sluka apparently earned while playing for the Runnin’ Rebels.

Sluka was promised “at least” $100,000, said Sluka’s NIL representative, Equity Sports’ Marcus Cromartieattached to On3’s Pete NakosTo date, Sluka has only been given $3,000 to move to Las Vegas, according to Cromartie.

Sluka previously played at Holy Cross in Massachusetts and is from New York.

“When Matt was recruiting, we were talking about a figure of upwards of $100,000 to $150,000,” Cromartie told On3. “That was the amount that Matt was going to get to get there. We were talking about if we could get to $150,000, that would be great, but $100,000 was the number.”

CEO of Equity Sports Chris Cabotwho also spoke to On3, explained the challenges the college system faces in converting a verbal promise into a signed contract.

“Ultimately, we know that a school can’t sign a player until he’s enrolled,” Cabott said. “That’s the whole reason why State of Florida was beaten. We understand that sometimes there is some flexibility. These schools can’t give you a term sheet, they can’t give you a contract. You just have to take people at their word.”

The version of events given by Sluka’s NIL management also matches what his father told ESPN.

Sluka’s father has provided clarity on the decision, telling ESPN Adam Rittenberg His son never received the NIL payments promised by UNLV staff during his recruitment. He also says that neither Sluka nor those around him asked for “one dollar more” than what was originally agreed upon.

“Bob Slukafather of UNLV QB Matthew Sluka, told ESPN that his son’s agents agreed to a NIL deal with the school in February, never received payments despite requests and never asked for any adjustments to the original deal,” Rittenberg said, via X.

“We have no idea what the hell happened,” Bob Sluka told Rittenberg. “They just kept putting it off: ‘We don’t know. You’ve got to wait.’ Then it was like, ‘We’re going to give him game checks.’ So we said, ‘OK, great.’ We didn’t ask for a dollar (more).”
