College Sports Watchdog Sets up Tip Line for Confidential Reporting of Violations in New NIL Era
The College Sports Commission oversees $35.4 million in approved NIL deals and added an anonymous tip line to detect violations including pay-for-play and data errors.
- Launching a confidential tip line, the college sports watchdog announced since July 1, 2025, to gather anonymous NIL reports via texts, WhatsApp, and web forms while protecting reporters' identities.
- To detect errors and pay-for-play indicators, the CSC said anonymous reporting and reliable reporting methods are foundational to compliance, with David Chadwick noting NIL has increased risks requiring thorough review.
- Using the NIL Go app, the CSC analyzed nearly 6,100 deals worth about $35.4 million and contracted Deloitte, which created and operated NIL Go, to handle reports, while enforcement is not specified.
- Bryan Seeley, CEO of the College Sports Commission, called the tip line `a really good development` and said NIL Go clears most submissions quickly despite some administrators complaining of delays.
- Given complaints about NIL Go's functionality, observers warn it is `less than ideal`, complicating administrators' work and student-athlete reporting, while Bryan Seeley said he has not seen specific problematic examples.
