Sign Up for a School Profile

Choose your role. The Main Administrator creates and controls the school's account; Assistant Administrators help manage specific parts like sport rosters.

Main Administrator

Creates & controls the school account

You're the primary person who controls your institution's account on DirectNIL. You create the school profile, oversee everything, and can run revenue sharing across all rosters.

Create the school's DirectNIL account
Full control over all rosters and administrators
Manage revenue sharing on every sport
Approve athletes and assistant administrators
Configure budgets, approval chains, and sport caps

Best for: Athletic Directors, Compliance Officers, or the person who will own the school's DirectNIL account.

Assistant Administrator

Helps manage specific rosters

This is meant for people who are joining an existing school on DirectNIL who are meant to handle a certain task or roster. Your school must already be on DirectNIL, and the Main Administrator approves your request.

Join an existing school already on DirectNIL
Help manage assigned sport rosters
Propose revenue-sharing arrangements (if permitted)
Subject to Main Administrator approval
Scoped to the sports the Main Admin assigns you

Best for: Assistant coaches, sport-specific coordinators, or staff supporting a school already on DirectNIL.

Not sure which one you are? If your school doesn't have a DirectNIL account yet, you're the Main Administrator. If your school is already set up and you're joining the team, you're an Assistant Administrator — your Main Administrator will need to approve your request.
