Transparent, By Design

Pricing at Empire

Every series is intentionally compensated differently. Here's exactly how each one works.

💼

Athlete Management Series

Flat monthly rate. No commissions, no percentages of NIL earnings or contract values, ever. Your rate is locked in writing before we begin.

📋

Agency Series

Percentage of contract, as legally allowed. Once licensed, Agency Series is compensated via league-standard, legally capped commission on negotiated contracts — consistent with how certified sports agents are paid under league and union rules.

🎤

Media Series

Media Series does not charge athletes for appearances, interviews, or content features. Revenue is driven by sponsorships, partnerships, and distribution — not athlete fees.

Athlete Management Series

Transparent Pricing. No Hidden Fees.

Athlete Management Series fees are flat-rate. We do not charge commissions, percentages of contracts or NIL deals, introduction fees, or any performance-based compensation for management services — ever. Your rate is locked in writing before we begin.

Why We Price This Way

💰

Flat Fees, Never Commissions

For Athlete Management Series, we don't take a percentage of NIL deals, contracts, or introductions — ever. Your rate is fixed no matter what you earn.

📈

Priced to Career Stage

Rates scale with realistic earning power at each level — JUCO to Power 4 to professional — not a one-size-fits-all number.

🌱

Foundation Is an Entry Point

Our lowest tier is priced deliberately low for JUCO, D3, and small D2 athletes early in their journey — built to grow with you, not extract from you.

📝

Locked In Writing

Your exact rate is confirmed in your signed agreement before any work begins. No surprises, no renegotiating later.

Monthly Retainer — By Athlete Tier

Where you land within a tier's range depends on scope: NIL Education & Compliance Tracking is included with every plan, and each additional service you add (Brand Building, Administrative Support, Introductions, Post-Career Pathway Planning) increases your rate by a fixed amount, up to the tier ceiling.

Flat fees only — Athlete Management Series. Empire Sports Group LLC — Athlete Management Series does not charge commissions, percentages of NIL earnings or contract values, introduction fees, referral fees, or success fees of any kind. All fees are agreed upon in writing before any service begins. Rates shown are standard ranges; your specific rate is confirmed in your signed Services Agreement. Empire Athlete Management Series serves college and professional athletes only — we do not work with youth or high school athletes.

Agency Series (pending licensing). Once certified, the Agency Series will be compensated via league-standard, legally capped percentage-of-contract fees for contract negotiation and representation — consistent with how licensed sports agents are compensated under applicable league and union rules. This is a separate compensation model from the flat-fee Athlete Management Series above and does not apply to any non-agent management service.
