Why it matters

The deal gets signed. Then the screenshots come out.

Older posts and media appearances can affect a new partnership. Review the athlete’s public history before the deal is announced.

What they posted

Years of the archive

Confirmed accounts only — fan pages, parody accounts and same-name athletes are excluded on the record before anything is attributed. Deleted and edited posts are surfaced separately, not quietly dropped.

What is on tape

Video and podcast moments

Press conferences, interviews, and podcast appearances transcribed with every speaker labeled, so a line said out loud three years ago is as findable as a tweet. This is the material keyword search cannot reach.

What is being said now

The roster, watched

Once the deal is live, mentions and press across 14 platforms in one feed, with alerts the moment volume or sentiment moves on an athlete, a coach, or the program.

Point all three at one athlete and you get a Signing Report — a structured, twelve-section document with every finding dated, hyperlinked to its source, and graded before it reaches whoever signs the deal.

Some of the public record behind all this is free to browse. Our College Sports Money explorer publishes a page for every one of the 358 NCAA Division I programs, private universities included, with what the department earned and spent, how it ranks, what each sport costs, and the booster foundation or NIL collective we can verify as funding its athletes. Where no funder clears verification, and that is 304 of the 358, the page says so rather than naming a guess.

The Signing Report

A decision you can defend

A structured report with the recommendation first and the evidence behind it. Each finding is graded for confidence and likely public exposure.

  • Accounts confirmed — and exclusions written down
  • Every finding states the athlete’s age at the time, not just the date
  • Deleted and edited posts surfaced in their own section
  • Affiliations and brand conflicts checked against your existing sponsors
  • Context that cuts the other way, sourced with the same rigor
Look inside a report

How every finding is graded

Verified

Retrieved directly, or preserved in a dated public archive capture, on a confirmed account. Safe to raise with your principals as stated.

Corroborated

Documented, but one element — the date, the account, or the context — rests on a single source. Confirm before it changes a decision.

Unconfirmed

Reposted or screenshotted material we could not tie to a confirmed account. A lead, not a finding.

Exposure

Separately, each finding carries how likely it is to surface on its own — high, medium, or low — once the deal is announced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Civly Athletics, answered.

What is a Signing Report?

A single written report on one athlete before a NIL deal: confirmed accounts, the full public post history read in context with the athlete’s age at the time of each post, video and podcast appearances transcribed and speaker-labeled, deleted posts recovered where a public capture exists, public records where applicable, and a brand-conflict map run against your existing sponsor categories. Every finding is dated, sourced, graded and reviewed by an analyst. Details on Athlete Vetting.

Can we vet a whole roster or recruiting class at once?

Yes, and it is the more common request. Rosters run in parallel rather than one athlete at a time, and you get a single comparison page showing which names are clear, which need a conversation, and which need a closer look before you commit, with each athlete’s full report behind it.

How do you value a third-party NIL deal for the NIL Go review?

NIL Valuation prices a deal piece by piece. Every deliverable, social posts, appearances and likeness in advertising, is priced against a published market rate and adjusted for the athlete’s audience, on-field production, local market and program scale, so the total can be defended line by line in the NIL Go clearinghouse review. A separate Total Athlete Valuation prices a full season, roster pay and commercial work reported separately and never derived from one another.

How do we find alumni and boosters who could give to our collective?

Collective Prospecting ranks your alumni and booster list on three public records: published donor honor rolls, private-foundation grant schedules filed with the IRS, and the officers, directors and trustees named on nonprofit 990s, alongside capacity on file such as officer roles, business registrations, property and deed records and SEC holdings, and public affinity for the program. Collective donor rolls are not public, and nobody selling you a list has them.

How do you know an account actually belongs to the athlete?

Every account is confirmed on corroborating evidence — a link from a verified roster page, a cross-post from an already-confirmed account, or a school or team acknowledgment — or it is excluded, and the exclusion is written into the report. Fan accounts, parody accounts, and same-name athletes in the same sport are the most common exclusions, and they are named.

Why does the report state the athlete’s age at the time of a post?

Age and timing help you distinguish an isolated post from an ongoing pattern. Both are included so you can weigh the finding in context.

Is this fair to the athlete?

Unconfirmed material is labeled as a lead, exclusions are documented, and evidence that supports the athlete gets the same source checks as negative findings.

How fast can we get one?

Reports are delivered in days, with rush options available. We confirm the delivery date before you commit, based on the material to review.
