For Parents of Athletes

Your kid got an NIL offer. Now what?

PACT helps parents understand the deal, check compliance with your state's rules, and make sure the contract is fair before anyone signs. No legal background required.

Free to use. No login required. Not legal advice.

You're on the other side of a contract you didn't write.

A brand reached out to your athlete. Exciting, right? Then you open the contract. Here is what most parents are dealing with.

You're reading a contract you don't understand.

IP assignment clauses, perpetual licenses, indemnification. These contracts are drafted by brand attorneys. They're not written to be understood by parents or 19-year-olds.

Every state has different NIL rules.

Disclosure deadlines, prohibited categories, high school eligibility bans, reporting thresholds. One missed detail can put your athlete's eligibility at risk.

You can't tell if the deal is fair or exploitative.

Is $500 for an Instagram post reasonable? What about $3,000 for a semester of exclusivity? Without benchmarks, you have no way to know if a brand is lowballing your athlete.

What parents are asking.

What is an NIL deal? +

An NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deal is a contract between a brand and a college or high school athlete. The brand pays the athlete to promote products, appear at events, or create social media content. These deals became legal after the NCAA changed its rules in 2021.

Do parents need to be involved in NIL deals? +

Yes, especially for high school athletes and younger college athletes. Parents play a critical role in reviewing contract terms, checking compliance with state laws, and making sure the deal is fair. Many NIL contracts contain legal language that requires adult guidance.

How do I know if an NIL deal is fair? +

PACT compares the offered compensation against market benchmarks for the athlete's sport, division, deliverable type, and follower count. A fairness score of 80 or above indicates an excellent deal, 60 to 79 is fair, and below 60 suggests the athlete may be undervalued.

Does PACT cost anything? +

No. PACT is free to use. No login required. You can analyze a deal, check state compliance, and review fairness benchmarks without paying anything.

What if my state has specific NIL rules? +

Every state has different NIL laws. PACT checks compliance against your state's specific rules automatically when you run a deal analysis. We also publish free state-by-state NIL guides covering disclosure deadlines, prohibited categories, and high school eligibility.
