Booster Insurance

Protecting the Backbone of College Athletics

Booster insurance is designed to protect the lifeblood of collegiate athletic programs – the donors, collectives, and schools whose financial commitments keep NIL programs running. When a season-ending injury occurs, booster insurance ensures that promised payments to athletes remain secure and compliant, while donors and athletic departments maintain financial stability.

At Peck Financial, we work directly with schools, collectives, and athletic directors to build insurance programs that keep NIL promises sustainable. Our team partners with multiple Lloyd’s of London coverholders to deliver flexible, high-limit protection backed by global underwriting expertise.

Why It Matters

Modern college sports operate at the intersection of athletics, business, and brand management. When an athlete is sidelined, so are the promises that drive recruiting, donor confidence, and program momentum. Booster insurance transfers that risk away from the program – so the mission, not the budget, stays on track.

Without coverage, one injury can:

• Jeopardize NIL payout structures
• Undermine donor confidence
• Disrupt recruiting commitments
• Create compliance exposure for schools and collectives

Booster insurance stabilizes these dynamics by providing a financial safety net that protects all stakeholders.

How It Works

Policies are structured to pay the school, collective, or NIL entity, not the individual athlete, ensuring compliance and administrative control.

Coverage can be customized to include:

• Permanent Total Disability (PTD): Lump-sum protection for career-ending injuries.
• Death & Disgrace: Safeguards against reputational or contractual loss events impacting sponsorships, ticketing, or donor confidence.

Each layer works together to create a comprehensive, budget-stabilizing risk transfer strategy for college programs.
