Precision at work. Game day the rest of the time.

I'm Brandon. By day I keep high-end timepieces moving on the logistics side at Chopard USA. The rest of the time I'm building MyNILValue and writing Under the Cap, a weekly newsletter on what college athletes are actually worth, and why.

01 — About

Two worlds that both run on timing.

Brandon Solina on the waterfront on a sunny day

I'm 30 and work in the high-luxury watch business with Chopard USA, on the logistics side, making sure pieces where every detail matters get where they need to be, exactly when they need to be there.

Outside of work I'm a sports fanatic, college football above all. The NIL era has turned the sport into a real market, with revenue-share caps, booster-backed deals and private equity knocking on athletic departments' doors. But most of the prices are never disclosed, so athletes, families and schools are negotiating blind.

That's why I started MyNILValue, a set of free valuation tools built on real NIL transactions, and Under the Cap, where I break down the biggest moves in NIL and revenue share with numbers instead of hot takes.

Above all of it is my faith. Following Christ shapes how I work, how I treat people and why I build what I build.

I'm always open to NIL conversations, sports-tech work and new opportunities. If any of that sounds like you, get in touch.
