CSC working with RealResponse to empower confidential reporting of potential rules violations across college sports
WASHINGTON DC, OCTOBER 8, 2025 – The College Sports Commission (CSC) today launched an anonymous tipline that allows confidential reporting of potential violations of the rules governing third-party name, image and likeness (NIL) deals and revenue sharing in college sports.
The new reporting line, developed in partnership with RealResponse, a leader in anonymous two-way communication in college athletics and beyond, provides a secure channel for student-athletes, coaches, administrators and others to voluntarily submit information anonymously directly to the CSC’s enforcement team. The launch of this system will bolster the CSC’s ability to effectively enforce the rules established as a result of the House settlement.
“This anonymous tipline provides an essential tool for identifying potential rules violations, gathering additional information and ultimately enforcing these new rules,” said Bryan Seeley, CEO of the College Sports Commission. “We’re committed to robust enforcement of the rules while protecting those who come forward with useful information.”
Key features of the anonymous reporting system include:
- Protected Identity: All phone numbers and identifying information are masked, allowing two-way communication without compromising the individual’s identity.
- Continued Engagement: CSC staff can follow-up with individuals for additional details or clarification while maintaining strict confidentiality.
- Multiple Access Points: Reports can be submitted via text message, email, or web form, meeting users where they are without requiring app downloads or creating barriers to reporting.
- Voluntary Disclosure: While individuals can choose to identify themselves, it is not required.
“With the House settlement reshaping the college sports landscape, new opportunities and challenges have emerged, making integrity and accountability more important than ever,” stated RealResponse Founder and CEO David Chadwick. “This partnership ensures there is a safe, trusted channel to report potential rules violations. We’re proud to help the CSC protect fairness, maintain a level playing field, and give every stakeholder the confidence to speak up when rules are at risk of being broken.”
The CSC encourages anyone with knowledge of or concerns about potential violations of third-party NIL or revenue sharing rules to use the new system to report them immediately. Anonymous reports can be submitted, and additional information is available at: www.collegesportscommission.org/report.
