Were they ever other than at the individual institution level? I'm pretty sure you can "take" a class and as long as you pass the tests then you get a grade.
NIL’s

I suspect every school is different just like they’ve always been. I don’t think any of us are following the Johnnies due to devotion to the scholar athlete tradition any more than we were in the Mullin Berry years.
Aren’t you the cynic. These are $tudent Athlete$ after all.
I was just curious if it's changed more drastically in recent years.
I'm not 100% sure of that, but if that happens, do all NIL donations become charitable gifts?
On that note, Storm Marketing deserves enormous credit for the incredible support they provided over the past 4 seasons. Their business model for their law firm includes Storm and as such the tremendous NIL effort they put forth increased the firms visibility and contributed to its growth. If their NIL collective goes away, at the very least deserve a chapter in the story of our program's renaissance.

Even as a somewhat broke, 23 year old new grad, you can bet your ass off I will be donating to this
This is really innovative stuff and gives fans double the incentive to contribute. Repole has gone far beyond anyone's expectation over the past year.
great to see... but next years roster is gonna need a lot more than 2mm... that wont keep Zuby and RJ lol

The million dollar match is in addition to everyone's normal contribution (including Repole), the other Storm Marketing and Flat Top Fund fundraisers, the Players Era Vegas tourney which is another million dollars, and whatever other NIL is collected along the way. Very realistic that next year's team will be more expensive than this years, and by a decent margin as well
Right- more tongue in cheek comment… I know Rick ain’t letting Mike getaway with only givin a mill lol
Somewhere Michael Porter is throwing his laptop into the wall....

Obviously knew Repole was a big donor but as someone not familiar with any actual numbers or percentages found this to be an interesting nugget from the article in The Athletic…
