Deal Disclosure & Monitoring
To reduce compliance risks and simplify the work flow surrounding NIL activities, we offer a basic deal disclosure & monitoring solution as part of FanWord Coach. Student-athletes fill out a simple questionnaire about their NIL activities, and all data gets stored in a centralized database for administrators to review and act upon.

Why FanWord Coach
The new NIL era is going to instrumentally change the way we know college sports. New name, image, and likeness legislation will not only impact student-athletes and their ability to monetize their personal brands but heavily influence core collegiate athletics areas such as recruiting, fundraising, sponsorships, student-athlete development, and more. Navigating this space is going to be a challenge. Navigating this space alone is going to be even more challenging. Schedule a call today to get a better feel for how we can help.
