Report: Father of Matthew Sluka reveals UNLV didn’t follow through with NIL agreement

After just three games, UNLV quarterback Matthew Sluka announced he was leaving the team after representations “were not upheld” by the program. Speculation about the decision has run rampant on social media over why Sluka made the decision, thought to be for NIL purposes.

Sluka’s father has provided clarity on the decision, telling ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg his son never received NIL payments promised by the UNLV staff during his recruitment. He also says Sluka nor the people around him asked for “a single dollar more” than what was originally agreed upon.

“Bob Sluka, father of UNLV QB Matthew Sluka, told ESPN that his son’s agents agreed to an NIL deal with the school back 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 keep deferring, ‘We don’t know. You have to wait. Then it was like, ‘We’re going to give him game checks.’ So we’re like, ‘OK, great.’ We did not ask for a single dollar [more].”
