Will your NIL deal clear?

Third-party NIL deals over $600 pass through a clearinghouse that checks for fair market value. Answer a few questions and get an instant read on whether your deal is likely to clear — and how to strengthen it. Free.

How it works

A read on your deal in under a minute.

Tell the checker who's paying, what the athlete has to do, how big the deal is, and a few other details. It estimates whether the deal looks like fair market value (likely to clear) or like pay-for-play (likely to get flagged), and lists the specific factors driving the result.

What gets flagged

Pay-for-play, not real endorsements.

The clearinghouse is built to catch deals that aren't fair market value: payments from school-associated collectives with little or no real work, fees far above the athlete's market, and comp tied to enrolling at or staying with a school.

The fine print

Educational, not compliance advice.

This is an estimate based on public information about the clearinghouse, and its rules are still evolving. Always confirm a real deal with your school or compliance office.

Frequently asked questions

What is the NIL clearinghouse (NIL Go)?
Under the House v. NCAA settlement, third-party NIL deals over $600 pass through a clearinghouse (operated by Deloitte, branded NIL Go) that checks whether the deal reflects fair market value rather than a recruiting inducement.
What kinds of NIL deals get flagged?
Deals that don't look like fair market value — especially payments from school-associated collectives with little or no real deliverables, fees far larger than the athlete's market, and pay tied to enrolling at or staying with a school.
Is the Deal Checker legal advice?
No. It's a free educational estimate based on public information about the clearinghouse. Confirm any real deal with your school or compliance office.
