Former Badgers football player, now an agent, at center of UNLV controversy over NIL payment

Sluka’s agent, former University of Wisconsin football player Marcus Cromartie, told ESPN that UNLV didn’t come through on the verbal offer made by offensive coordinator Brennan Marion. Sluka’s father, Bob, also told ESPN that head coach Barry Odom later said in a conversation with Cromartie that the offer wasn’t valid because it didn’t come from Odom himself.
