Compliance-first NIL management,
built for college athletics.

NILBx is a software platform for the daily NIL workflow at college athletic departments — Title IX two-regime tracking, House-settlement 22% cap management, an SWA attestation ledger, EADA-shaped export, and a complete audit trail on every contract state transition. Built for the desk of the athletic director, senior woman administrator, deputy AD, compliance officer, coach, and the brands that work with their athletes.

What we do

One platform, five stakeholders.

NILBx unifies the daily NIL workflow for athletic directors, senior woman administrators, deputy ADs, compliance officers, coaches, and brands — under a single audit log.

🏟️

For athletic directors

School-wide dashboard with deal-flow visibility, configurable compliance review queues, athlete roster aggregation, House-settlement 22% revenue-share cap tracking, and a complete, tamper-evident audit trail across every contract.

🏆

For SWA & Deputy AD

Gender-equity dashboard with side-by-side Title IX regime tracking — 34 CFR § 106.37(c) in-house 22% allocations and § 106.41(c) external NIL — regulatory-citation surfacing on every flag, a dated SWA attestation ledger, and one-click EADA-shaped export for the October 15 filing cycle.

⚖️

For compliance officers

Contract review queue with configurable severity bands, Title IX gap guard on revenue-share submits, override co-sign workflow, and compliance rules that stay current as OCR / CSC guidance evolves — with the citation and verified-at date on every threshold in the queue.

🏈

For coaches

Sport-scoped roster with depth-chart integration, per-athlete deal counters, and built-in messaging. Native coverage for football, basketball (M/W), baseball, softball, soccer (M/W), volleyball, golf (M/W), tennis (M/W), cross-country (M/W), track & field (M/W), rifle, and bowling — plus USL / USSF / MLS Next Pro adjacent-sports coverage.

📋

For brands

Contract creation with deliverable templates, talent-tier filtering, and configurable approval workflows per school. Brands see their own deal pipeline; never see other brands' contracts.

Compliance stack

Every rule cites its source.

Every compliance threshold on the platform carries its regulatory citation, verified-at date, and next-review date. When OCR or the College Sports Commission updates guidance, the rule is refreshed through a two-person verification workflow before it lands in the review queue.

🎯

Title IX — two regimes, kept separate

34 CFR § 106.37(c) — in-house athletic financial aid (including the House 22% pool) evaluated as quantitative dollar proportionality. 34 CFR § 106.41(c) — evaluates the SCHOOL's provision of publicity, support services, and facilities across male and female programs (10 factors plus "among other factors" open clause). After the February 12, 2025 rescission of the OCR NIL Fact Sheet, no NIL-specific OCR guidance currently imposes proportionality on standalone external NIL dollars; the school's own institutional acts around NIL remain evaluable under the 10 factors. NILBx keeps both regimes side-by-side and never conflates them.

🏛️

House Settlement 22% cap

Institutional revenue-share pool tracking with cap-usage arithmetic, Title IX proportionality guard on submit (blocks a breach unless the compliance officer + counterpart co-sign an override), and a complete allocation ledger that preserves the full decision trail for later review.

✍️

SWA attestation ledger

A dated ledger where the senior woman administrator records attestations of the school's Title IX / gender-equity posture. Narratives are stored as one-way fingerprints — the raw text never leaves the SWA's session. Corrections are recorded as new attestations; the original stays visible so the trail is complete.

📤

EADA-shaped export

One-click CSV export shaped for the annual 20 U.S.C. § 1092(g) / 34 CFR § 668.47 filing. Section 1 (106.37(c) financial aid) and Section 2 (106.41(c) external NIL) headers separate the two regimes in the same file. Comments preserve counting-method distinctions (EADA squad-list vs. Title IX 1979 Policy Interpretation) so a downstream reader can't accidentally cross-quote.

🔐

Privacy by construction

Personal information doesn't leak into governance surfaces. Reports and dashboards work off one-way fingerprints — the underlying identity is never exposed to non-authorized viewers. FERPA considerations designed in from day one, not bolted on. Data handling ready for legal + privilege + audit review before we load a single real-athlete record.

📡

CAPS-adjacent by design

The attestation ledger and regime split are structured to feed College Athlete Payment System (CAPS) reporting when the CSC finalizes its required-field spec. We build against what's verifiable today; we don't guess at unspecified futures.

Pilot partnerships

Free 4-month evaluation for D1 athletic departments.

We're looking for design-partner schools who want compliance + dashboard tooling that fits how their AD office actually works. Pilots run a full fall or spring semester at zero cost — exit with a copy of all your data at any time, no obligation.
