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.

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.

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.
