Former UNLV quarterback Matt Sluka chose to redshirt the rest of the season after starting for the UNLV football program the first three games and leading it to a Top-25 ranking. He isn’t hurt. Instead, he says the school and/or its associated NIL collective middleman, not a literal man, have not consummated promised compensation. Or, in layman’s terms: Sluka says UNLV owes him money and/or benefits.
