College Players
The college football game has changed, and we’ve been on top of it since the beginning of the NIL era in 2021! Today’s college football players are more like professionals than ever before, with FBS programs operating with player compensation pools exceeding $15 million…yes, the stakes are incredibly high. Whether it’s maximizing your value as a player under a revenue share agreement with the university, negotiating an NIL deal with a collective or other third-party, or navigating potential options in the Transfer Portal - the college equivalent of unrestricted free agency – ProStar has unmatched expertise to guide your collegiate career from your first day on campus, through your entry into the NFL draft! In this space, the compensation component is only part of the picture. The actual contract language literally varies from university to university and protecting your interests with the best language possible to protect you is right in our wheelhouse!
We got you!
Contract Negotiation
College football in a multi-billion dollar business...thanks to players like you. Universities hire expert attorneys to draft and often negotiate their deals...so should you.
Portal Management
As we all know, the transfer portal has become college football's version of free agency in the NFL. Why not hire a firm who's been navigating the complexities of free agency for over 30 years? The portal is currently an everchanging tool that schools and players alike are trying to take advantage of. Whether it's the timing of different windows, the effect on existing NIL/revenue share deals, safeguarding your rights, or evaluating both opportunities and offers, we've got your back. The portal is the single most powerful tool in a college player's favor and it would be crazy not to maximize your academic, athletic, and financial windows.
Financial Plan
The financial opportunity for players in college has brought about the need for sound and strategic money management. Whether it's creating an LLC to reduce tax exposure, working with you to find a financial advisor who you feel comfortable with, or overseeing your plan and making sure it gets implemented...we've got your back.
Brand Building
While the focus must remain on football first, we work aggressively on your behalf throughout your career to help build a sustainable brand for you to capitalize on, both during and well beyond your playing days. This can include any combination of marketing and endorsements, charitable foundation support and the like. Much of your promotional value is tied to your social media following and we work with you to build that over time.
Career Education
What's after college? The pursuit of a career in the NFL isn't as simple as it sounds. Whether it's All-Star games, prepping for the combine, recovering from a long season, or getting ready for training camp, we've been there, literally. And this is only the first step. We work hard to educate our clients about what the NFL has in store for them. The NFL Draft, free agency, compensation, benefits, injury management, financial planning, drug policies and more! The ups and downs of a career in the NFL require an elite and experienced team behind you.
