Get a Family Protection Score on every offer, peer counsel from families walking the same signing table, and informational leverage coaching from The Guidance — an AI Leverage Coach trained on every contract this room has seen. Never legal advice. Never signing alone. First month free, founding rate locked for life at $59.99 per month for the 50 founding members.
Family Protection Score — read every NIL offer as a number
The Family Protection Score is a 0–100 reading of how protective a specific NIL contract is for the athlete’s family. 5–40 is high risk. 41–70 needs attention. 71–85 is a solid position. 86–100 is protected. A number the whole family can read together before signing.
The Room — peer counsel from families at the same signing table
Elite athletic families walking the same NIL signing table share what they’d push back on, what they signed, and what they’d never sign again. Peer counsel — not agent representation.
The Guidance — an AI Leverage Coach, not a lawyer
The Guidance surfaces the questions worth asking before you sign an NIL contract. It is informational leverage coaching, not legal advice. Families should consult a licensed attorney for legal advice specific to their situation.
Who 2ndPrime is for
High school NIL athletes, college athletes, youth athletes on brand deals, athletic-family parents reviewing NIL contracts, athletic directors, booster clubs, and coaches. Anyone who does not want to sign an NIL contract alone.
NIL contract review timeline — Friday to Monday
Contract lands Friday. Family reads together over the weekend with the Score, the Room, and the Guidance. Decision is on the table by Monday. No family should sign an NIL contract at 11pm on Sunday.
How much does 2ndPrime cost?
The founding rate is $59.99 per month. The first month is free. Founding spots are capped at 50 members and the rate locks for the life of the continuous membership. Cancel anytime. Not a long-term contract. Not legal representation. Not an NIL agency.

They spent yearswriting the contract.You have a weekend to read it.
Every NIL contract on your kid’s kitchen table was drafted by someone whose only job is protecting the school or the brand paying your kid. Their attorney has negotiated four hundred deals. Your family has read one — this one. That’s not a room you’re walking into. It’s a room they built.
- T.01The contract-drafting desk
Wrote every clause of the deal on your kitchen table. Their job is protecting the party paying your kid — not your kid.
- T.02Precedent + playbooks
Four hundred deals on their side of the table. Yours is deal number four hundred and one.
- T.03Compliance office
NCAA, state NIL law, IRS. They watch the rulebook full-time.
- T.04Calls itself a protector
Frames a six-figure offer as opportunity, security, protection. Their fiduciary duty runs to their board — not your family. That's not villainy. It's structure.
- Y.01Google + gut
Half a Saturday to read a document their lawyers spent months writing.
- Y.02The family group chat
Three cousins, one uncle who watched a documentary, no one who's ever marked up an NIL contract before.
- Y.03Timeline pressure
"Sign by Monday." The deadline was picked to rush you, not them.
- Y.04One goal
Protect your kid — with none of the tools the other side has.
The gap between those two columns is where every trap lives.2ndPrime is how you close it.
The enemy isn’t a person. It’s the structure — they wrote the deal, they picked the deadline, and the check is big enough that you can’t afford to walk. That’s the leverage. 2ndPrime is how a family walks in with leverage of their own.

Four clausesthat end careers.
One has no end date — the most lethal of the four. Every contract we've seen buries at least one. The Room catches all four before you sign.
One clause. No end date.
The most lethal clause on the page. Buried in Section 7: “a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to Athlete’s name, image, and likeness.” Translation — ten years after your kid graduates, the school still sells the jersey with their number, and your kid never sees a dollar. We flag every perpetuity clause the moment it appears.
The clause that never ends.
A single missed opt-out window and your name, likeness, and rate lock for another cycle. We surface every renewal window before you sign.
One school change kills the deal.
Portal-triggered voids are quietly buried in most collectives' contracts. The Room reads every transfer clause first.
One paragraph, career over.
The NCAA's compliance surface changes every quarter. We watch it so your kid doesn't sign into a rule that hasn't been written yet.
Read your family's next contract with families who catch all four — before the pen hits paper.
A number fora signature.
The Family Protection Score™ reads every clause, weighs every risk, and returns a single 0–100 reading — so a family knows exactly what they're signing before they sign it.

The Room is curated. Applications are reviewed. If you’re not the right fit, we tell you.
Before youwalk in.
The four questions every family asks before joining the room. Answered plainly.
No. 2ndPrime is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The Score is a protection reading. The Room is peer families walking the same signing table. The Guidance is an AI Leverage Coach that surfaces the questions worth asking before you sign — informational only, no attorney-client relationship. For legal advice specific to your family's situation, consult a licensed attorney.
There was a unilateral-amendment clause in the contract we had no idea about. We thought our child was protected for two, three years. Turned out the school could rewrite the terms with thirty days written notice.Thirty days later, our athlete was cut from the team.
A Family Protection Score would have flagged that clause on page one. So would three families in The Room who’d seen it before. That’s the difference between reading a contract alone and reading it inside 2ndPrime.
I was 23 when a bad contract put me in my mom’s basement. Ninety thousand in debt. The person who was supposed to protect me was the one who put me there.
I know what it costs when the voice a family trusts isn’t guiding them. It’s selling to them. I built 2ndPrime so the years you’ve poured into your athlete come back to your family. Not to the people circling them. So your child’s first contract becomes the beginning of the life you’ve been building. Not the one you spend the next four years trying to undo.

All four paths help families — the enemy is the contract structure, not the professional. Agents represent, attorneys advise, advisors coordinate; 2ndPrime is the informational room you can afford before you know which of those you need. Figures reflect published industry norms; actual rates vary.
Bring them in whenever. 2ndPrime gives your family the questions worth asking — we don’t replace the professionals you already trust. Many of our families walk into their attorney’s office with the Score and the flags already in hand.
