What is a Discord Server?

Think of our Discord server as a well-organized interactive information hub for the NIL community

Why Join?

  • Curated Content: Each channel is carefully curated to provide a comprehensive overview of the most important NIL news and insights.

  • Convenience: Cut through the clutter. Get everything you need to know about NIL in one location.

  • Community: Join a growing community of informed athletes, industry professionals, and sports enthusiasts passionate about the future of NIL.

Additional Benefits:

  • Individual NIL news channels for every Power 4 school

  • Individual NIL news channels being added daily for every non-Power 4 conference

  • Channel dedicated to NIL deal tracking

  • Chats tailored for athletic administrators, NIL directors, coaches, parents, agents, and all key stakeholders

Community Guidelines Include:

  • No doxxing or harassment (especially threats on someone’s life/property) or encouraging self harm

  • No spamming, phishing, or attempting to steal another user’s account (broadly speaking, one could consider this “no spamming or scamming”)

  • You must be 13 years or older to use Discord

Prohibited Behavior:

  • Trolling - Trolling refers to the act of disrupting the chat, making a nuisance out of yourself, deliberately making others uncomfortable, or otherwise attempting to start trouble.

  • Discussing Offensive/Controversial Material - This includes topics such as politics, religion, acts of violence, rape, suicide/self harm, school shootings, and other serious topics; as well as hate speech including racial slurs or derivatives thereof, sexist or homophobic statements, and other similar types of behavior.

  • Disrespecting Server Staff - Insulting the server moderators or becoming belligerent after being warned.

  • Incitement - Encouraging the breaking of rules, inciting others to be blatantly rude and offensive, or otherwise promoting and/or encouraging conflicts between other members.

  • Punishment Evasion - Users should not attempt to evade the consequences of their actions such as using an alternate account to bypass restrictions.

  • Inappropriate User Profiles - For ease of communication and the comfort of those in chat, the profile picture, custom status, and display names (i.e., the name that shows up while reading the chat) of users should be in line with the rules of the server. Furthermore, the display name should also be easily readable, mentionable, and not attempt to imitate other users or development staff or hoist you to the top of the server online list. In effect, this also means that the user profile should be safe for work, not contain any offensive or illegal content, and not be used to harass others or spam/scam.

  • Advertisement - Similar but not quite the same as spam, this refers to users attempting to promote their own social media/discord servers/other content creation channels
