Your Athletes Are Doing
NIL Deals — With or Without You.
The only question is whether your compliance office is in the room. DirectNIL institutional partnerships give you real oversight, real analytics, and real control.

The First 5 Schools Join Free — For Life
No matter your division — D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or High School — the first five institutions to partner with DirectNIL never pay the platform fee. Ever. It's our way of rewarding the schools that build this with us from day one.
And if your school doesn't run a revenue-sharing program, that's fine — you still get the full NIL compliance and deal-oversight dashboard, free.
The compliance gap no one talks about
NCAA rules require athletes to disclose NIL deals to their institutions — but enforcement is nearly impossible when deals happen on platforms your compliance office can't see. Without a DirectNIL partnership, your athletes are operating in a blind spot.
Built for compliance offices, not just athletes
Every partnership tier gives your institution tools that dramatically reduce compliance risk and administrative burden.
Compliance Pre-Approval
Deals must pass through your compliance office before they go live. You stay in control at every step.
Roster-Wide Analytics
Track earnings by athlete, sport, and deal type. Know exactly who's leaving money on the table.
Automatic Notifications
Your compliance office is automatically notified on every deal — no manual athlete disclosure required.
Auto-Generated Reports
Monthly compliance reports ready to hand directly to your AD or NCAA auditor.
Certified Partner Badge
Your athletes carry a 'Certified Partner School' badge — signals compliance to brands and drives more deals.
Compliance Audit Exports
Export full compliance audit trails — by athlete, sport, or date range — ready for NCAA or state review.
Recruiting Compliance Protection
Every deal is documented and timestamped — giving your institution legal cover if ever audited by the NCAA or a state athletic body.
Brand Directory Access
See exactly which brands are targeting your athletes. Proactively flag conflicts of interest before they become compliance violations.
Parent/Guardian Notifications
For high school programs, parents or guardians are automatically notified on every deal their minor athlete enters into.
NIL Disclosure Receipts
Auto-generated, timestamped proof of disclosure for every deal — ready for NCAA auditors, legal counsel, or your AD on demand.

Once your school is a partner, the system works for itself.

Run your school's revenue-sharing program on DirectNIL
For programs that compensate athletes directly — manage allocations, approvals, and payments in one auditable system. DirectNIL never holds the money; Stripe moves it school-to-athlete.
Multi-Step Approval Chains
Configure your own approval roles — Team Admin → Financial Admin → Main Administrator. Every step is logged and the chain is frozen per arrangement.
ACH Bank Funding
Fund large allocations via bank debit (low fees, high limits) or card. Settles in 2–4 business days with full Stripe-backed security.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every action — proposal, approval, edit, payment, pause — is timestamped and exportable for NCAA or institutional review.
Granular Admin Roles
Main, Financial, Compliance, Team, and Read-Only administrators with per-person permission toggles and sport-level scoping.
Athlete Private Dashboard
Athletes see their arrangements, payment schedules, and payouts in a private section — never exposed on public profiles.
Roster Management by Sport
Invite athletes by sport, manage rosters, and scope Team Administrators to only the teams they oversee.
No revenue-sharing program? No problem. Smaller schools or programs without the resources to run allocations still get the full NIL deal setup — real-time visibility into every athlete deal, automatic disclosures, compliance approvals, and audit exports — free.
