I have access to NIL Go

Also, what exactly is NIL Go?

With Judge Claudia Wilken approving the House Settlement late last Friday (clearing the way for schools to directly play players and instituting revenue sharing), another system was put into place:

NIL Go.

In case you are unfamiliar: NIL Go is the new platform created by Deloitte to monitor salary cap management and the NIL clearinghouse.

Every NIL deal of $600 or more that a student-athlete agrees to will need to be put through the NIL Go system for approval, and must be submitted via the system within five days of said student-athlete agreeing to the deal. (There is also a possibility that these deals can be rejected, and the student-athlete does have a few courses of action.)

An athlete I represent granted me access to NIL Go as an agent/representative on their behalf, so here is what it looks like. (Note: Athlete info below redacted for privacy purposes.)

🖥️ Landing Page

After a simple signup process (which the athlete had to initiate in order for me to gain access), it brought me to the landing page.

Pretty simple interface with a few options. (Primarily “+Add a new deal” and “Resources”.)

ℹ️ Resources

I find this section to be extremely valuable, as there are four sections of content and multiple articles within each section addressing the processes and what is/is not allowed.

➡️ Deal Flow

Five-step process to add a deal on behalf of an athlete. Sample screenshots of a portion of the process, as it’s a pretty thorough procedure to submit a deal. (Note: Athlete info below redacted for privacy purposes.)

Final thoughts & two questions

Overall, this is an easy-to-use site with not a lot of menus or buttons to push (good) and a robust amount of resources (even better).

However, my two biggest questions:

1. How many qualifying NIL deals will be submitted through the platform?

2. How many of those submitted deals will be rejected for various reasons?
