Wanting to keep UNLV’s College Football Playoff hopes alive, a Circa Sports Vice President offered to compensate former UNLV quarterback Matthew Sluka the $100,000 he allegedly was promised by an assistant coach.
Late Tuesday night, Sluka, who started UNLV’s first three games, announced he would not play the rest of the season and was redshirting because “certain representations made to me were not upheld. Despite discussions, it became clear these commitments would not be fulfilled in the future.”
Mike Palm, Circa Sports Vice President of Operations, told Action Network he contacted UNLV Wednesday morning, inquiring if the Las Vegas resort and casino could help make up for the money allegedly owed to Sluka so he might stay at UNLV.
