Just Play Solutions, the most trusted platform for coaching workflow and analytics, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Opendorse, the leader in NIL technology and insights. This collaboration marks the first-ever integration of verified athlete NIL compensation data into a coaching platform, delivering coaches an unprecedented ability to evaluate player value in real time.
Through this partnership, Just Play’s Front Office Suite will now include verified NIL transaction insights from Opendorse, enabling coaches to assess player value across their current rosters, the transfer portal, and prospective recruits.
A First in College Sports: Performance Meets Value
With this integration, Just Play becomes the first company to deliver NIL compensation insights alongside player performance data, all in one streamlined platform.
“Coaches are dealing with more roster uncertainty than ever,” said Austin Barone, Co-Founder of Just Play Solutions. “Between eligibility changes and the lack of a standardized market for athlete pay, they’re being asked to manage rosters like professional front offices—but without the same resources. This partnership gives them the tools to make faster, smarter decisions backed by real data.”
Starting in April 2025, Just Play users will gain access to a new layer of functionality, combining Opendorse’s aggregated, anonymized NIL data with Just Play’s comprehensive analytics and recruiting tools.
Why This Matters for Coaches
The landscape of college athletics has shifted dramatically. Coaches now must navigate the transfer portal, NIL compensation, and evolving eligibility rules, all while making high-stakes roster decisions quickly.
Until now, programs had no way to view verified athlete earnings in the context of on-field performance. This integration bridges that gap.
With Just Play + Opendorse, coaches can:
- Evaluate player value holistically: See performance data and NIL earnings range side by side
- Plan NIL and budgets with real-time clarity
- Make smarter, faster recruiting decisions—from portal targets to player retention
- Operate like professional front offices—without extra staff or disconnected tools
“As the largest commercial NIL company in college sports, we’re excited to bring our insights to Just Play’s platform,” said Blake Lawrence, Co-Founder and President, Collegiate Operations at Opendorse. “Together, we’re helping coaches assess player value in a truly holistic way—helping them succeed in the modern era.”
The Future of Roster Management is Here
This partnership is part of Just Play’s broader vision to deliver a fully integrated coaching ecosystem that supports player teaching, opponent scouting, recruiting, and analytics, all in one place.
As roster management continues to evolve, Just Play remains committed to providing coaches with the platform, clarity, and speed needed to build winning teams in a complex environment.
