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

Quarterback Matthew Sluka has entered the transfer portal after leaving UNLV three games into the season due to a dispute over promised name, image, and likeness payments. His agent stated that Sluka was promised $100,000, which was never received. By leaving before his fifth game, Sluka can redshirt and preserve his final year of eligibility. UNLV accused Sluka's agent of making financial demands, which the school interpreted as a violation of 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.
