Deal Review Analyst

DEAL REVIEW ANALYST

• College Sports Commission
• Fairfax County, Virginia

The College Sports Commission (CSC) is seeking a motivated, organized, and team-oriented individual to serve as a Deal Review Analyst for the organization. This position will report to the CSC Associate Counsel.

The CSC utilizes NIL Go, an online portal built with assistance from Deloitte, to assess student-athletes’ Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals with third parties. As part of reviewing the submissions, the CSC ensures the deals are made with the purpose of using a student-athlete’s NIL for a valid business purpose and do not exceed a reasonable range of compensation. The CSC also utilizes the College Athlete Payment System (CAPS) to administer and track institutional revenue sharing agreements with student-athletes, as well as roster limits. The Deal Review Analyst will be part of a nimble, multi-faceted legal team – serving as a frontline internal resource for factual determinations associated with the CSC’s mandate.

The rules surrounding the submission and review of NIL deals were created pursuant to the landmark settlement in House v. NCAA (“House”). The House settlement allows student-athletes to benefit financially from their participation in intercollegiate athletics. The CSC was established as the enforcement entity overseeing compliance with the new rules after the House settlement.

The CSC’s work policy requires four days per week in-office at its worksite in Tysons Corner, Virginia and one day of remote work.
