    The downside of kicking all of the chuds off this website is we can’t make fun of them for pretending to be upset about this like everyone in the twitter comments are.

    I wonder if UNLV isn't holding up their end of the deal. A lot of folks are immediately saying that he's being tampered with. I assume many top players are constantly getting tampered with and they don’t do this, so it’s most likely that this is motivated by UNLV not delivering on a promise

    If UNLV didn't pay him, I don't blame him. It's a job. Are you showing up to work uf your job hasn't paid you in 6+ months? Of course not. People demanding others do what they wouldn't do really irks me.

    Hmmm I wonder if the reasons he’s sitting out is exactly the reason he’s telling us or it’s the reason the bots in the Twitter replies are saying

    The bag offered as a transfer from Holy Cross was probably not very large. Now he's at UNLV in the top 25 and you have some desperate programs out there. I could easily see him getting offered a lot more than he had been offered and since it's his last chance to make real money in football he made a business decision. I'd be pissed if I was a UNLV fan either way and everyone here would be if this happened to them.

    What kind of NIL money do you think he was offered going from Holy Cross to UNLV? I cant imagine he was much

    At the end of the day we are getting one side of the story(which could be true or he could be trying to win the PR game). Do we think this guy is going to say I was playing for $50K but FSU is paying bums $500k and called my agent?

    I dont blame him if he just up his value 4x or whatever and said I'm sitting.

    So we've got #Florida Gators and now UNLV who have reneged on NIL deals.

    Anyone else we know?

    I'm going off the assumption he's not lying about something that the school could very easily call bullshit on and show proof. If he got paid and is sitting bc someone offered more, that's fucked up. I don't think that's the case but I guess we'll see.

    Michigan State pulled all their NIL deals iirc after the Mel Tucker deal. Does that count?

    Why are we assuming he’s lying? He’s 3-0 with a chance of the playoff. I guess we should wait to hear what the local used car dealership says first

    A chance of the playoff, making D level money with no chance of winning anything or a chance to sit until next year and make A-B level money and QB a more prestigious school?

    Hell I would sit too.

    I’m just nitpicking because you said MSU pulled all of their deals. That collective had a lot of issues and pulled a lot of money when they realized last season was fucked and many players were going to transfer regardless. Some deals got picked up by replacement collectives, but it’s true a lot of players didn’t get paid what they thought they would.

    He's almost certainly been tampered with because every starter in FBS has been tampered with by someone at this point.
