In this story:

UNLV starting quarterback Matthew Sluka will play no more football this year after announcing he will use his redshirt and seek other opportunities, citing unfulfilled NIL promises made by UNLV's coaching staff...Even by Las Vegas standards, it's a messy money situation. It gets even messier now with new details that have come to light Friday morning about the situation.

Plus, the Mountain West seems to have "solidified" itself with the seven members not poached by the Pac-12 agreeing to a new grant of rights, which nets them cash from the departing members' exit fees. Where does the league go from here?

Joe Londergan of G5 Football Daily and Eric Henry of 247Sports break down an incredibly weird two weeks in the Mountain West.
