A Smarter Way to Protect Student-Athlete Eligibility

As student-athletes across the country continue to explore opportunities through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, one concern remains top of mind: eligibility protection. That’s where NIL Go comes in — a platform designed to simplify compliance while empowering athletes to take control of their NIL opportunities with confidence.

What Is NIL Go and how does it work with NIL Deals?

NIL Go is a user-friendly platform that streamlines the process of reporting and evaluating third-party NIL deals. Whether you’ve already accepted an offer or are still in discussions, NIL Go helps student-athletes ensure their deals meet all compliance standards before moving forward.

Key Features and Benefits

✅ Report Deals for Compliance Review

Student-athletes can easily submit NIL agreements through NIL Go to be evaluated for compliance with relevant regulations. This critical step helps athletes avoid unintentional violations that could jeopardize their eligibility.

✅ Pre-Clear Deals for Peace of Mind

One of NIL Go’s standout features is the ability to pre-clear a deal before it's accepted. This means an athlete can have a deal evaluated in advance to confirm it won’t conflict with eligibility requirements — allowing them to move forward with confidence.

✅ Appoint a Representative

To streamline the process even further, student-athletes can designate one representative during onboarding. This representative can enter NIL deals into the system on behalf of the athlete, making the submission process faster and more efficient.

Why It Matters

Navigating the NIL landscape can be complex, especially with ever-changing rules and regulations. NIL Go not only simplifies the reporting process but also acts as a safety net, ensuring that student-athletes stay compliant while seizing opportunities.

By providing both proactive and reactive deal review options, NIL Go empowers student-athletes to own their NIL journey — without compromising their eligibility.
