Alabama announces partnership with revenue-sharing software management company

Following the passing of the House Settlement a week ago, schools around the country are preparing themselves for revenue sharing in college sports. That includes those down in Tuscaloosa with the Crimson Tide joining with a company to best help them navigate what’s to come.

Per a release on Friday, Alabama has announced a new partnership with SCOUT. SCOUT is a company that can aid in preparation for best handling the rev share practices for the Crimson Tide, “providing end-to-end solutions including cap management tools, revenue-share distribution, and player financial tools and education”.

“Alabama Athletics, one of the most iconic and influential programs in college sports, has partnered with Scout for a customized revenue share distribution system and a tailored financial support program for Crimson Tide student-athletes,” the release read. ” The partnership includes a secure, customizable revenue distribution platform and cap management tools for the athletic department. Scout will also provide personalized financial literacy education, one-on-one coaching, and access to Scout’s proprietary app for savings, investment planning, tax withholding, and LLC formation.”

“Scout, which supports more than 30 university athletic departments nationwide, brings a unique blend of innovation and customization to each partnership. Its platform is built to adapt – helping programs like Alabama meet the moment in a rapidly evolving NIL landscape, while upholding the championship standards that define their legacy,” it continued. “Discussions between the athletics department and Scout focused on cybersecurity, compliance, and Alabama’s unique needs. The relationship will begin with training for athletic department staff and Crimson Tide athletes gaining access to the proprietary Scout platform.”

Judge Claudia Wilken approved the House Settlement on June 6th. With that came the implementation of revenue-sharing in college athletics, with schools being able to directly pay their student-athletes from a total, which will increase annually, of $20.5 million starting on July 1st. It also comes with roster limits for current teams, eventual backpay for former players, and new guidelines regarding NIL.

Alabama AD Greg Byrne has since spoken on that shift earlier this week. He, on topic in relation to the settlement, discussed roster limits and the new regulations on name, image, and likeness.

Schools have just under three weeks to fully prepare themselves for this, with its implementation being on the first of next month. The Tide are one of many trying to get ahead of that, with this newly announced partnership between them and Scout.
