Due Diligence

This course introduces Due Diligence, a core pillar of our NIL Protective Education framework and a critical skill every athlete and family must develop.

The NIL ecosystem is filled with opportunity and risk. Not every deal is legitimate. Not every service provider is qualified. This course teaches you how to slow down, verify and protect yourself before committing time, money, or your name to an NIL opportunity.

Using our proprietary S.I.F.T. framework, you’ll learn a repeatable process to assess NIL offers and service providers so you can separate real opportunities from red flags.

This Module Covers:

• How to evaluate NIL opportunities with a structured, risk-aware approach
• How to assess service providers, agents and third parties before engaging
• Common warning signs athletes and families overlook
• How to protect eligibility, finances and long-term credibility

The S.I.F.T. Framework

• Sort | Sort the opportunities and 3rd parties to best identify what is being offered
• Inquire | Ask the right questions and requesting documentation
• Filter | Filter for credibility, compliance and alignment
• Try | Trial by taking low-risk steps before fully committing

Due diligence isn’t about distrust, it’s about being informed and protected.

This course gives you the tools to make smarter decisions, avoid costly mistakes and engage confidently in the NIL space.
