Independent Roster Valuation Advisory

Know what your roster is truly worth.

Independent fair market value audits, incentive structuring, and roster insurance advisory for college athletics.

THE INDEPENDENT NUMBER IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS
The Post-House Landscape

Rosters became payrolls. Pricing did not keep up.

Every athletic department now commits real money in compressed windows, without a neutral reference point.

Eight-figure payrolls.
Two-week markets.
Zero independent pricing.
Every number you are handed in a negotiation comes from someone who profits when you pay more.

The market moves faster than diligence.

Inside the decision window, schools face agent demands on one side, booster pressure on the other, and no neutral number in between. Overpaying one position group by 15 percent compounds against the cap for years.

Regulation without legislation.

College athletics needs a national fair market value standard, and it cannot wait on Washington. Rostaval applies one repeatable methodology, the same way at every school, so every deal is defensible today.

What We Deliver

The independent audit layer for your roster

Three decision-ready reports, and a team on call as the roster changes.

Roster Value Audit

Fair market value for every athlete: production value and brand premium reported separately, with confidence bands and overpay flags.

Incentive Structure Report

Every incentive clause probability-weighted for achievability and true cost, so you know your realistic contingent liability.

PTD Insurance Exposure Report

Certified valuations become insurable values: per-athlete and roster-level disability exposure with coverage recommendations.

Then on call all year, because the roster changes every month

With a full re-audit every summer.

FMV on targets in 48 to 72 hours

New signings

Deals checked before signature

Incentive tracking

Live achievability all season

PTD updates

Exposure moves with the roster

Compliance

Docs for clearinghouse filings

We are independent. No selling players, no placing deals, no cut of contracts. The audit tells you where you stand. The retainer makes sure you never sign, renew, or insure blind.

How It Works

From signed NDA to decision-ready report

A standardized engagement, built to move at roster speed.

1

Mutual NDA

Signed before any data moves. Your numbers are protected from day one.

2

Secure intake

Contract data uploads through an encrypted, access-logged channel. Never email, never shared drives.

3

Roster Value Audit

Our valuation engine prices every athlete: production, brand, modifiers, confidence band.

4

Incentive + PTD analysis

Contingent comp is probability-weighted; disability exposure is quantified per athlete.

5

Report + walkthrough

A decision-ready written report, walked through live with your leadership team.

6

Year-round advisory

We stay on call as the roster changes: portal, signings, injuries, compliance.

Baseline audit delivered inside an agreed turnaround SLA. Portal opinions in 48 to 72 hours.

Data Protection

Your data is protected at every step

Security is the product, not a feature.

Encrypted intake, end to end

Your files upload directly to encrypted, access-logged storage through a time-limited secure link. They never transit email, shared drives, or anyone's laptop.

A one-way firewall on your data

Your identifiable data lives in a private, isolated plane that only serves your engagement. Benchmarks are built solely from de-identified, aggregated data. Nothing flows back, and no competitor ever sees your numbers.

Reports, not machinery

You receive answers and recommendations. Model internals stay inside Rostaval, which is exactly what keeps every client's data safe from reverse engineering.

Contractual, not just technical

NDA before any data moves, purpose limitation in the engagement letter, deletion or return of identifiable data on exit. In writing, every time.

Schools only share compensation data with a partner they trust completely. We built the whole company around deserving that trust.

Engagement Terms

Priced so no program is priced out

Retainers are tiered by level of play and scoped by sport, from a single flagship program to a full All-Sports engagement. A full department runs a fraction of a single ops-software license, and far less than one roster mistake.

Founding rate, locked for three years. The first ten programs keep founding pricing through 2029. Full terms shared under NDA.
