The Varsity Collective is a 501(c3) charitable entity, and donations are tax deductible.
In 2021, the NCAA began allowing student-athletes to be compensated for their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL).

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.
