NIL Compliance FAQ — NIL Go, House Settlement, Pricing & Security

Answers on NIL Go, the House v. NCAA settlement, pricing, and compliance for athletic directors, sports agents, CPAs, and advisory firms.

For Athletes

We charge flat subscriptions to institutions and advisory firms. We take no commission on any deal and hold no conflict of interest.

NILVaultAI estimates your multi-state tax liability, tracks withholdings, and exports CPA-ready Schedule C documentation. We do not provide legal or tax advice — we generate cited information and forms to share with your accountant.

Never. We are neutral by design. Our corporate charter prohibits taking any percentage of athlete deals, referral fees, or placement commissions.

You own all your data. If you transfer, you can export your full compliance record in PDF or CSV format. Your new school can reconnect your profile if they also use NILVaultAI.

For Universities

University pricing starts at a $150K annual base fee. Athlete bands scale based on your total roster size. Per-seat fees apply for additional compliance staff. A typical 350-athlete program with 8 staff runs ~$285K/year — 40–60% below current point-tool spend.

Standard University implementation is 3–5 business days: discovery & SIS mapping, policy encoding & data migration, staff training, and athlete onboarding — with a dedicated onboarding specialist guiding you through go-live.

Yes. We integrate with Banner, Workday, Ellucian, and PeopleSoft. A dedicated integration specialist handles mapping during onboarding.

No. NILVaultAI provides information, never advice. Every output is cited to a dated public source. This information-only design means your General Counsel can trust the platform.

You retain full ownership of all data. Upon cancellation, we provide a complete export in CSV and PDF. After 90 days, we cryptographically erase all institutional data.

Yes. We offer a 30-day pilot program with full feature access. Launch with one sport or department. If you are not audit-ready by kickoff, we refund 100% of your subscription.

For Conferences

Encode your conference rules once in NILVaultAI. They automatically apply to all member institutions, ensuring standardized compliance across 12–16 schools with zero variance.

Yes. Conference tier includes aggregated, de-identified compliance dashboards and standardized reporting for all member institutions.

General

NIL Go is the NCAA's required disclosure system for NIL deals exceeding $600. NILVaultAI auto-prepopulates NIL Go forms, tracks the 5-day disclosure window, and prepares submission-ready documentation.

The House v. NCAA settlement introduces federal judicial oversight of NIL compliance, replacing pure NCAA self-reporting. Key changes take effect July 1, including stricter disclosure requirements and revenue-share cap modeling.

Opendorse and INFLCR are marketplace or point-tool platforms. NILVaultAI is a neutral, end-to-end operating system — we do not take a cut of deals, we connect contract → cap → payment → tax on one engine, and we are built for audit-defensibility from day one.
