Quarterback Matthew Sluka enters transfer portal after leaving UNLV over NIL dispute

Quarterback Matthew Sluka has entered the transfer portal after leaving UNLV due to a dispute over promised name, image, and likeness (NIL) payments. He departed three games into the season, preserving his final year of eligibility. Sluka's agent claimed he was promised $100,000 to transfer from Holy Cross, but no payments were made. UNLV stated that they did not engage in financial demands and accused Sluka's agent of violating NCAA rules. Hajj-Malik Williams has taken over as the starting quarterback for UNLV, leading the team to a 3-2 record since Sluka's departure. The Rebels are currently 6-2 overall and bowl eligible for the second consecutive season.
