No. Although our mission is to benefit Badger student-athletes and their community, The Varsity Collective is a separate entity from the University of Wisconsin and operates within the letter and spirit of NCAA regulations.
You can support Badger student-athletes individually, by team, or by donating to The Varsity Collective.
In 2021, the NCAA began allowing student-athletes to be compensated for their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). That change gave Badger student-athletes control over their own personal brand, and today, they can benefit from deals, partnerships and other opportunities—just like any professional athlete.
The Varsity Collective and VC Connect are separate entities from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. *VC Connect is a subsidiary LLC of The Varsity Collective.
