Submission & Outcomes
How do I submit to NIL Go?
FieldPass does not submit to NIL Go on your behalf. After downloading your packet, you submit it directly through NIL Go.
Steps to submit on NIL Go
- Log in to your NIL Go account (nilgo.com) using your school email and NCAA ID. Your institution must have verified your account before you can submit.
- From the dashboard, select "Add a New Deal"
- Enter the deal details — use the deal summary sheet in your FieldPass packet as your reference for every field
- Upload the PDF contract from your packet (unsigned drafts are accepted at submission time; signed is preferred)
- Submit — your deal enters the NIL Go review queue
Payor registration note
If your brand/payor is not already registered in NIL Go, they will receive an email invitation to verify their identity and complete an attestation. Payors have 5 days to complete this. If they don't, NIL Go presumes association — which triggers the full three-part review including Range of Compensation.
First-time NIL Go setup (one-time)
- Create an account at nilgo.com using your school email, sport, and NCAA ID
- Your institution must verify your account before any deals can be submitted
- You may designate one representative (e.g., an agent) to enter deal details on your behalf, but the final submission must be performed by the athlete
What happens after I submit to NIL Go?
The CSC reviews your deal against the three-part compliance test. Processing times vary and can be longer than the 5-business-day window during high-volume periods (e.g., signing periods).
| Outcome | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cleared | Deal passed all three tests; proceed with the deal |
| Flagged for Review | CSC needs more information; wait for outreach |
| Not Cleared | Deal failed one or more tests; see options below |
My packet was rejected. What are my options?
If the CSC does not clear your deal, you have four options:
- Revise and resubmit — Renegotiate terms with the brand and resubmit an updated contract. Use FieldPass to update the deal, regenerate the packet, and submit the new version.
- Cancel the deal — Cancel and refund any money already received.
- Appeal to neutral arbitration — Request an independent arbitrator to review the CSC's determination.
- Proceed at risk — Continue with the deal; risk enforcement consequences including loss of eligibility.
In most cases, revise and resubmit is the best path.
How do I record a rejection in FieldPass?
After receiving a rejection from NIL Go, log the outcome in FieldPass:
- Go to the packet that was rejected
- Record the outcome as Rejected
- Enter the rejection reasons and any reviewer notes provided by the CSC
Recording outcomes serves two purposes: it maintains your audit trail, and it helps FieldPass surface actionable remediation steps for the next submission.
How does FieldPass help me fix and resubmit quickly?
This is where FieldPass's versioning pays off:
- Update the deal fields or upload revised documents to address the rejection reasons
- Regenerate the packet — FieldPass produces a new version and shows you a diff of exactly what changed from the rejected version
- Use the diff as evidence of responsiveness when resubmitting to NIL Go — it proves you addressed the reviewer's specific concerns
The remediation list from the policy check will also reflect any new issues introduced by your edits.
What rejection reasons should I enter?
Enter the reason(s) as given by the CSC. Common rejection categories include:
- Missing or vague deliverables
- Compensation outside the acceptable range (RoC failure)
- Missing required document (e.g., no contract uploaded)
- Payor attestation not completed
- Deal not reported within the 5-business-day window
- Warehousing of future NIL rights (VBP failure)
Tracking rejection reasons in FieldPass helps identify patterns over time if you manage multiple athletes.
