Woz likes teaching I'd be surprised he sold his name for nothing else but money.
He sold his image to vodafone in spain, so, he could be having economic problems or just making an u-turn and selling himself to whoever is able to pay for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FL4cwcFmgY
Some people dont know Woz spent some years as an elementary school math teacher after leaving his full time Apple job. So he as insight as a teacher.
Man I wish he was my math teacher, I probably would of been much more engaged back then.
Your english teacher wasn't very engaging either, I guess?
Although it would be unfortunate if this was the case, this paragraph from the about page ( https://woz-u.com/about/ ) leads me to think that this is just using Steve Wozniak's name for branding: Inspired by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, we specialize in technology and career-based programs designed to get people into the workforce quickly and affordably...Led by higher education experts, Exeter Educat…

If his name is being used he obviously wants it to do well because he has some insentive in it. he wouldn’t use his name and want it to fail.
You should study the person you're commenting on a bit beforehand. It is perfectly possible for Steve to want them to do well even if he does not have any incentive.

"Woz likes teaching I'd be surprised he sold his name for nothing else but money." I feel the same way. This is part of what he had to say in a comment [1] he wrote in 2013, discussing the then-released Jobs film. It absolutely speaks volumes about his character: "And when Jobs (in the movie, but really a board does this) denied stock to the early garage team (some not even shown) I'm surprised that they chose not to…

The issue isn't money, it's his idealism that leads to gullibility. For example, check out his involvement with a multi-level marketing scheme called "People Helping People". I'm sure Woz loves the idea of a low cost universal education source, but he often skips the diligence required to figure out if these things are scams or not.
Woz U seems to be (at least in part) a rebranding of SCI/Coder Camps.

Wozniak has been a rampant self-promoter for years so this isn't a surprise to me at all. He'll put his name on anything. https://www.techinasia.com/talk/steve-wozniak-walking-billbo...

You make it sound like Steve doesn’t care about himself at all.

I can't imagine a guy like The Woz allowing his name to be associated with something sub-par which he has no control over. He understands the importance and weight of his personal brand.
He's an idealist and "too good" of a person and believes in people too readily to be a cutthroat business guy. I can see a situation where he'd be talked into a situation you describe, because he doesn't have a personality that first questions others' motives and agendas.
