Contract Risks We Catch
These clauses appear in contracts every day. Our AI flags them instantly.
Signing Bonus Clawbacks
Get injured or cut? Many contracts require you to repay your signing bonus—sometimes with interest.
Perpetual Image Rights
Your likeness used forever in video games, merchandise, and ads—often with no additional compensation.
NIL Exclusivity Traps
Exclusive deals that lock you out of other NIL opportunities or transfer portal decisions.
Social Media Control
NIL partners demanding control over your posts, requiring approval, or limiting what you can say.
Transfer Portal Restrictions
Contract terms that follow you to a new school or penalize you for transferring.
Career-Limiting Non-Competes
Restrictions that prevent you from playing, coaching, or working in sports after your contract ends.
One-Sided Performance Clauses
Bonuses that sound great but have nearly impossible conditions buried in the fine print.
Injury Settlement Traps
Clauses that let teams cut you after injury with minimal payout or void guaranteed money.
Representation Terms & Termination Rights
Commission structures and representation agreements that may continue beyond your working relationship. Know your obligations before signing.
Forced Arbitration
Disputes settled in private arbitration chosen by the team—not in court where you have more rights.
