What it is

Sports Collectives is the college NIL collective database at sportscollectives.com — an intelligence layer for collectives, university-specific NIL orgs, service providers, schools, conferences, and people.

It is built on the same PHP/MySQL directory patterns as the other vibe builds: searchable profiles, claims and submissions, editorial/news, glossary, and an admin workflow for keeping the map of the ecosystem current.

Timeline snapshot

  • Domain years: SportsCollectives.com held in the Knup Domains portfolio.
  • 2026: Productized as a NIL collective intelligence directory.

Why I built it

NIL coverage usually starts with athletes and deals. The organizational layer — who runs the collective, which school it sits under, which providers plug in — is harder to find in one place. This domain was already in the portfolio; the product is the map.

What we offer

  1. Collective, school, conference, provider, and people directories
  2. Profile pages with ecosystem relationships
  3. News, resources, glossary, and change tracking
  4. Submit, claim, and suggest-edit flows with admin review

Where it is now

In progress. Schema, public directories, and admin scaffolding are under active vibe build. Production launch and full seed coverage are next.
