  • Step 1: Register & Complete NIL Education

    Visit D3AthleticsSupport.com to register with St. John's University and complete the required NIL education module. You must finish this before any other steps can move forward.

  • Step 2: Review & Sign Your Johnnie Athletes Agreement

    After you register, Johnnie Athletes will email you a personal agreement outlining your deal terms. Read it carefully, sign it, and return it. If you haven't received it within 2 business days, check your spam folder or contact us at admin@johnnieathletes.com.

  • Step 3: Return Your Signed Agreement to Johnnie Athletes

    Email your signed agreement to admin@johnnieathletes.com with the subject line: "Signed Agreement – [Your Name]". Once we receive it, we'll confirm receipt and move your file to compliance submission.

  • Step 4: Compliance Submission & Approval

    Johnnie Athletes submits your agreement to the SJU Compliance Portal on your behalf. Approval typically takes 3–7 business days. You may not engage in any NIL activity until you receive approval. We'll notify you as soon as your deal is cleared.

  • Step 5: Set Up Your Payment

    Once approved, JA will email you a secure link to complete payment setup. There are two paths depending on your deal value:

    • Over $600: You'll complete a W-9 form via the secure link. This is required for tax reporting.

    • $600 or under: You'll provide your payment information via the secure link.

    Do not send payment details by email — always use the secure link provided.

  • Step 6:Deal Active - You're Good to Go

    Your agreement terms are now in effect. Review your deliverables, deadlines, and posting requirements carefully. If you have questions about your obligations, contact us at admin@johnnieathletes.com.
