Here is the text of the article, I can't get it to load. The comments come days after UNLV starting quarterback Matthew Sluka announced he was stepping away from the program and redshirting because representations “were not upheld” after he enrolled. Sluka was verbally promised a minimum of $100,000 during his recruitment but only saw a $3,000 relocation fee, his agent Marcus Cromartie of Equity Sports told On3. The promises were made by an offensive assistant during Sluka’s recruitment, Cromartie said. The NIL collective and school have pushed back on the claim. “We continue to see evidence of dysfunction in today’s NIL environment, including examples of promises made but not kept to student-athletes,” Baker wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Just as anyone that owns stock or buys a house is afforded basic consumer protections, it’s clear that student-athletes entering NIL contracts should be too.” On Thursday, plaintiffs’ and NCAA attorneys submitted the revised long-form House v. NCAA settlement in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Attorneys did not change much despite Judge Claudia Wilken asking for the parties to “go back to the drawing board” when it came to enforcement of NIL collectives and boosters. The new settlement changed the definition of a booster, limiting it to a “narrower group of entities and individuals closely affiliated with the schools.” Commercial parties like shoe companies and people who have given $50,000 to a school will be exempt from NIL enforcement. If the settlement is not approved, the NCAA will head to trial and could face over $20 billion in back damages. Baker went on to write that the NCAA continues to lobby Congress for national NIL guidelines. The NCAA has lobbied lawmakers in Washington, D.C., dating back to the summer of 2022. “While we’d love to see these resources used to protect student-athletes in every NIL deal, it’s not something the NCAA has the authority to mandate,” Baker wrote. “In the meantime, we’re continuing to advocate for Congress to create national NIL guidelines that will protect student-athletes from exploitation, including the use of standard contracts.”

I wonder if the MW is planning on even more money from the Pac as per their "original" press release, they are guaranteeing . . .

Hey Corvallis and Pullman, order your T-shirts now . . . The grass is damn disadvantaged and desperate in Corvallis and Pullman.

Put the wife to bed and watch without interruptions.

WSU and OSU acknowledge what we already knew "the Pac-12 asserts that the Mountain West imposed the poaching penalty on a disadvantaged and desperate conference ..." So, shall they now be known as the: D & D conference, Double D conference, or D2 conference? I prefer D2 since that seems to be their tier in the college football landscape.

Thanks Darren, informative as always. At the end of a maybe a 2-win season, ucla will have had their worst season in history. Funny how Chip has his fingerprints on that plus Oregon's best season (to date). As for the beavs, one can only hope Purdue doesn't win another game so as to dilute the W.

Thanks for the article, David. It got me to thinking that it probably isn't a rivalry game anymore since it is essentially a P4 vs a group of 5, soon to be six when the Pac whatever gets up to 8 teams. Somewhat like Cal playing UC Davis. Same school system, just in different divisions.
