Some other possible details include possible tampering (shocker I know) and demands for INCREASED NIL, which the HC declined to meet
Sounds likeI guy I want nowhere near a team I support
Reports this in not similar to UF, who's collective failed to live up to their contract

Quitting midseason like that after starting 3-0 is not good optics.  Regardless of the merits of his case, if any, this just looks really bad for him.  :frown:

Now his agent is saying it was an unfulfilled "verbal promise" of $100k. Which makes one wonder how any agent worth his salt would allow his client to enter into such an agreement without getting it in writing. :dunno:

IT appears said agent also wasn't/isn't aware of the rules of the game either

Why didn't anyone have anything in writing. Why did the QB's agent not insist on it when the money was offered.

As I noted, it appears he doesn't have a clkue what he is doing and probably thought - hey we are in vegas, the NIL gots to be flush!  to which the game show hosts say , CLANG, WRONG ANSWER!!

Regardless of who's in the wrong here, I find it hilarious that the University of Tarkanian is acting all high and mighty, like they're above such things. :laugh:
