For Universities & Athletic Departments
The NIL era, handled properly
Sport Endorse works with universities and athletic departments on three fronts: connecting programmes with verified international student-athletes, educating student-athletes through the Sport Endorse Academy curriculum, and providing dedicated customer success so your athletes build compliant commercial profiles and complete brand deals with documented terms, disclosures and payments.
Three engagement lines
Built for athletic departments
International student-athletes
Access verified international athletes across 280+ sports and 85+ countries — with identity, sporting level and audience individually verified before you ever make contact.
Sport Endorse Academy
A structured NIL and personal-brand curriculum for your student-athletes: disclosure rules, contracts, pricing, taxes and working with brands professionally — before the first deal, not after the first mistake.
Student-athlete customer success
Dedicated, hands-on support helping your athletes build compliant profiles, evaluate opportunities and complete deals with documented terms, usage rights and payments.
Why it matters
Untracked side deals are the real compliance risk
When student-athletes sign deals over DMs, nothing is documented. On Sport Endorse, every deal carries agreed terms, usage rights, disclosures and payment records — a trail your compliance team can actually audit. Our US operation runs from Indianapolis, alongside our Dublin headquarters.
FAQ
University questions, answered
What does Sport Endorse offer universities and athletic departments?
Three engagement lines: access to verified international student-athletes for your programmes; Sport Endorse Academy, a structured NIL and personal-brand education curriculum for your student-athletes; and dedicated student-athlete customer success — hands-on support helping your athletes build compliant commercial profiles and complete deals properly.
What is Sport Endorse Academy?
A structured education programme teaching student-athletes how the commercial side of sport actually works: personal brand, NIL rules and disclosure, contracts, pricing, taxes and working with brands professionally — delivered as a curriculum your athletic department can run across squads.
Does this create NIL compliance risk for our department?
It reduces it. Every athlete profile is verified, deal terms, usage rights and disclosures are agreed and documented in-platform before payment, and the Academy curriculum teaches athletes the disclosure and eligibility rules before they sign anything — giving compliance teams a documented trail instead of untracked side deals.
