INDEPENDENT NIL SUPPORT. ZERO INSTITUTIONAL RISK.

Pick VI provides student-athletes with independent NIL guidance while maintaining a clear, intentional separation from institutional decision-making. Our model is built to reduce — not create — risk for universities.

WE OPERATE WHERE YOU CANNOT.

We understand the legal and compliance constraints schools operate under. Universities can educate, but under current NCAA frameworks and state laws, they generally cannot provide direct legal advice, negotiate individual contracts, or act on behalf of athletes without creating liability.

Pick VI exists entirely outside those institutional boundaries. We fill the gap between “General Education” and “Specific Legal Representation,” ensuring your athletes get the help they need without implicating the university.

How We Reduce Risk for Universities

1. Removing Pressure

Athletes receive independent legal counsel from licensed attorneys. This eliminates the expectation or pressure on athletic departments to advise on complex commercial terms.

2. Preventing Mistakes

Contract literacy reduces eligibility mistakes, disputes with sponsors, and public PR issues that often blow back on the program.

3. Clear Separation

Our rigid independence prevents claims of institutional involvement, pay-for-play, or improper inducement. We are a third-party service provider, not an arm of the school.

AHEAD OF THE CURVE.

As NIL evolves toward revenue sharing (post-House v. NCAA settlement), employment-adjacent frameworks, and increased legal scrutiny, schools face heightened exposure.
Direct institutional payments are rewriting the playbook, but the need for third-party representation remains. Independent, attorney-led guidance for athletes helps contain institutional exposure as the lines between “student-athlete” and “employee” blur.

STRONGER INSTITUTIONAL INSULATION.

Better-Informed Athletes:

Players who understand their tax and contractual obligations.

Fewer Compliance Issues:

Proactive vetting of deals before they are signed.

Zero Distractions:

Coaches coach. Administrators administer. We handle the business.

SECURE YOUR DEPARTMENT.
