So now we believe the school?
Or is it somewhere in the middle?
I'm going back to watch the Indy season of Last Chance U on Netflix.. Indy just got blown out in their first game. That QB from FSU on here is a cocky little bipolar dude.
I'll check back in later... interesting conversation.
Capt keeps downvoting me..

What if the crazy uncle is one of the agents. And the collective did pay what was agreed to, but the crazy uncle embezzled it and told the dad they hadn’t paid it. All the while, the uncle is using the money to finance his cocaine and gambling addiction. And when the money runs out, the mob comes calling forcing the crazy uncle to run. But in the end, the uncle learns some important lessons, he manages to work out a way to pay off the mob, and he makes amends with his family.
You said it could be anything. I like this scenario, it has drama and suspense but also a happy ending. I also like John Grisham books though, so this scenario may not be for everyone.

Why keep doing something you literally said you "hate" just because your family has always done it?

Don't blame the kid. I'm sure most people saying he is wrong would also quit their job if they only got paid half of what they were supposed to.

Strange take. It's almost as if the Universities don't have to pay for anything.

I have no idea about who is right or wrong here without more facts, but this kid better be making this decision with life changing money to be gained. Because if we are talking about something in the range of 50-100k, and him quitting is more of a pride saving gesture, then he has made a HUGE, life altering mistake.
1. Every future employer who does a simple google search will see a massive headliner of a guy who quit as the leader/starting QB of his team 3 games into his first season. We all have spots on our resumes where we eventually change jobs, but the job change doesn't have a resume heading of "Abruptly resigned with no notice in the middle of a critical project I was team lead on because of a disagreement with management." His bio will always have that, even 20 years from now. This will likely be what he is most known for the rest of his life.
2. His body of work at the major college football level is extremely small. There is a good chance he is not worth what he thinks he is and that this situation will result in no major schools willing to bring in a potential team cancer for only one season.
3. There is no guarantee he wins the starting job in his final year at his next school. He may have just played his last game.
Proving you are right does not always end up being in your best interest.
This kid should forget about the money right now. He's having a once in a lifetime experience as the starting QB of an underdog team on a hot streak with an outside chance at a playoff spot. Go enjoy the hell out of that and have that memory the rest of your life. Maybe there is even a shot at being a late round draft pick. All that is gone now. And he will one day blame his Dad for pressuring him to do this.

Oh… it is Las Vegas. What if the mob is behind the kid going back to the school and demanding more money. Because it isn’t the crazy uncle that has the gambling debts, it is the quarterback. When the school refuses to pay, the mob has another plan. They will use the kid to fix games. At his next school he plays uncharacteristically poorly in a few games; losing several because of 4th quarter turnovers. The young, cute sports reporter Maggie begins to dig around and uncovers that not only is the QB intentionally throwing games to pay off his debts, but it is just a small part of a nationwide fixing operation. She avoids a mob hiit thanks to the heroic actions of Jake, a campus police officer. In the end, she uncovers the scheme, which leads federal authorities to arrest everyone involved. A bust they proclaim as the biggest mob bust in decades. And during all this action her and Jake fall in love. The final scene is them exchanging their wedding vows.

Worse, try 3%. According to them anyway. The truth is likely in the middle as always.

If management wasn't paying you what they said they would, are you going to stay on the project?

He had to quit to save his red shirt. IF he played another down he would lose his last year of eligibility. He is trying to get some money going into the real world. Money he thought he was getting from UNLV.
Someone will pay him something. Better than have 0 in your savings account going into the real world.

You need to add that the the kid secretly saw his uncle eat a rat like the series V, and it turned out he was from an alien lizard race. And the kid has no idea yet, that he too is an lizard alien. Need some sci-fi in there.
I'm saying things based on the conversation of the board.

So if you were promised $100,000 and they reneged, you'd keep playing ball? If true, he should definitely leave them high and dry. Eff them.

Good. You frickers wanted to get paid, well this is the downside of it. Sometimes you get played.

I wonder how many people here beating the “would you stay if you weren’t paid” are salaried versus hourly.
I would guess most salaried personnel feel like they sometimes, maybe even often, have to do things they aren’t really paid for. Sometimes they are even asked to do things that actually work against them monetarily. But it is part of what you sign up for.
