FEDERAL DEADLINE — AUGUST 1, 2026
New federal rules now tie NIL compliance to your school's federal funding. Every deal over $600 must be reported within 5 business days or your athlete risks losing eligibility. Most families still do not know this. This platform covers all of it.

Mark Hayes — built this because the right information at the right time changes everything.

Mark Hayes spent years inside professional sports and brand partnerships watching athletes at every level win and lose at NIL in real time. He saw talented athletes leave real money and real opportunity on the table. Not because they lacked ability. Because nobody gave them a clear roadmap and said, here is exactly how this works. From Nada to NIL is that roadmap. Built from the ground up for student-athletes who are serious about building something that lasts far beyond their playing career. The book came first. The platform is what comes next.
