One of the leading authorities on NIL in college athletics said Matthew Sluka’s decision to end his season at UNLV after three games because of a disagreement over a pay arrangement could tempt other players to bail on their teams to pursue better opportunities.

UNLV was forced to make a sudden quarterback change this week when starter Matthew Sluka left the team over an NIL dispute. That type of loss would normally disrupt a team, but Hajj-Malik Williams already seems to have the support of his teammates before even stepping onto the field as the new starter.
