The CEO of the famed Las Vegas resort and sportsbook has offered to provide payment to UNLV quarterback Matt Sluka to resolve an NIL dispute with the school that landed him in the transfer portal this week.

A player quitting the team in the middle of an undefeated season is unprecedented, but multiple NIL agents shared accounts of similar financial promises not being kept behind the scenes in college basketball.

One of the leading authorities on NIL in college athletics said Matthew Sluka’s decision to end his season at UNLV after three games because of a disagreement over a pay arrangement could tempt other players to bail on their teams to pursue better opportunities.
