NIL infrastructure

Compliance built in. Not bolted on.

The post-House v. NCAA NIL era runs on disclosure. We built the disclosure infrastructure into the product before the first booking — because retrofitting compliance after the fact is how athletes get hurt.

Six layers of compliance infrastructure

Every deal. Every dollar. Every disclosure. Tracked.

Per-counterparty $600 threshold tracking

The $600 cumulative-compensation threshold is tracked automatically per athlete, per counterparty, per calendar year. Deals are stable-keyed by counterparty email so name variations don't bypass the threshold. When a deal pushes a relationship over $600, we flag it for disclosure before it can quietly slip past.

NIL Go disclosure ready

Every coaching session, brand deal, appearance, and sponsored program flows into a structured NIL deals record with all the fields NIL Go requires — counterparty, type, value, date, athlete payout. When NIL Go disclosure is needed, the data is already in the right shape. No spreadsheet scramble.

1099-K ready from day one

Every dollar an athlete earns through the Platform is tracked on a per-year basis. When the IRS 1099-K threshold is reached, Stripe issues the form automatically. Athletes can see year-to-date earnings and remaining headroom in the dashboard at all times.

Audit trail built in

Every booking, every payment, every payout, every disclosure status change is timestamped and immutable. If a school's compliance office ever asks an athlete to produce records, we can export the full audit trail in minutes.

State law compliance

Colorado HB 22-1295 governs NIL activity for student-athletes at Colorado institutions. We're built to comply with current Colorado law and to flex as state law evolves. For athletes at out-of-state schools, we structure deals to comply with both Colorado's seller-side rules and the athlete's home-state requirements.

Founder-direct compliance contact

Athletes, school compliance offices, and brand partners can reach the founder directly at compliance@nxtlevelnil.com for any question about how a deal would be structured, disclosed, or reported. We answer fast because compliance questions only get harder when they wait.

What this means for you

Compliance, translated for each side of the platform.

For athletes

Compliance as a feature, not your problem.

Every deal you accept is tracked, structured, and stored in the format NIL Go expects.
Year-to-date earnings, per-counterparty cumulative tracking, and disclosure status are visible in your dashboard at all times.
When disclosure is required, we tell you. Before that, we don't bother you.
Stripe Connect handles payouts and 1099-K issuance. You get clean documents at tax time.

For businesses

Brand deals that don't blow up at the compliance office.

Every deal flows through structured deal records that match what schools need.
Counterparty identity is stable. The athlete's school compliance office sees a clean record, not a mystery transaction.
We handle the disclosure paperwork on the athlete's side so your team can focus on the campaign.

For universities

Visibility into your athletes' deals — without surveillance.

Athletes from your program control their own data. They can opt to share NIL deal records with your compliance office through built-in export.
Our compliance schema mirrors NIL Go's data model, so audits are fast.
Compliance officers can reach the founder directly with structural questions, before deals go live.

Honest framing

We're not a law firm.

NIL law is evolving fast. The House v. NCAA settlement, NIL Go through Deloitte, and state-by-state legislation will keep changing. We're committed to staying ahead of those changes and building the platform to flex with them — but we are not, and cannot be, a substitute for the athlete's school compliance office, the athlete's personal counsel, or any specific legal or tax advisor.

What we promise: the structural plumbing on our side will not be the reason an athlete misses a disclosure. The records will be there. The thresholds will be tracked. The exports will work. Whether a specific deal requires a specific disclosure under a specific school's policy is always the athlete's decision, in consultation with their school. We just make sure the data they need is ready when they need it.
