There’s one way to become the most notorious name in collegiate athletics and Matthew Sluka found the key.
Sluka, who recently transferred to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, from FCS school Holy Cross, announced that he would be putting on his redshirt, and sit out the rest of the season.
The fresh FBS quarterback decided to let his opportunity to play in the best division of college football loose over a $100,000 dispute.
I’m not saying $100,000 is a minimal amount of money– especially as a college student.
But Sluka didn’t have to worry about his name image and likeness deal paying for his tuition, as the transfer received scholarship money from UNLV, money which the institution is not allowed to withdraw due to the barring of providing pay to play deals to students.
