U6 is now charging all students who take on-campus classes a $200 fee on top of tuition. All students. This fee goes towards NIL and the athletic department.

We increased student ticket fees and eliminated faculty ticket discounts. Signs of the times.
You're the same lil bro clown who started the "Strickland To UL" thread on the football forum in a mocking way... Thought you were being clever, didn't ya? You won't last long over here.
Anyone who didn't know this stuff was going to happen once NIL became a thing was gullible. It was always going to be the fans that pay for it. Not the networks.
Lmao Im not violating any board rules. And if I was trying to hide I would use an anonymous profile name! Oh wait…… lol
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lawsuit over this honestly. I don’t think student fees should be allowed to be used for this purpose especially when they already have the revenue to pay them.
Most schools have historically done similar for athletics and to fund other things on campus. Otherwise, those schools wouldn't be able to fund them. Now, the NIL might be an issue, but I would imagine what is strictly for athletics department purposes will be a non issue.
How do they justify then paying that fee out of academic scholarship money?
Lab fee? Good.
Books? Good.
$200 for a 4 star WR? Not so good.
I think the private foundation/organization/endowment, etc. funding the scholarship might have a hard time with it as well.
Why are remote learners exempt?
NIL funding is supposed to come from the private sector, not the university.
If you have evidence that the university is funding NIL, then they are in another NCAA mess.
University officials said almost all institutions collect a student athletic fee, and the new fee aligns with the ACC average of $204 per semester. They said a large percentage of ACC schools also charge for football season tickets, in addition to the fee.
OK. But the OP said this fee was being used for NIL. Is it being used for NIL?
It’s being used to make up for the 12.5 million that the university has incurred due to NIL.
