NIL, Pac-12 drama; Alabama-Georgia leads Week 5 college football picks

Just when you think the world of college football couldn't get any crazier, news breaks late Tuesday night that UNLV quarterback Matt Sluka is leaving the team after leading the Rebels to a 3-0 record. Sluka appears to cite unpaid NIL payments as the reason for his decision to redshirt, though other reports claim he asked for more money after the team's strong start. Is this an isolated incident or the first in a series of disputes between players and schools over money that are changing the landscape of the sport?

In other off-the-field news, the Pac-12 and Mountain West remain at loggerheads after the Pac-12 raided four teams last week and Utah State was added this week. What happens next? Is the Mountain West falling apart? Could a merger happen?
