The House settlement on July 1 marked a turning point for college athletics. Now that the initial dust has settled, more and more programs are reaching back out to understand what Teamworks GM can provide. At Teamworks, we’ve spent the past year refining a purpose-built platform to help athletic departments navigate this new era of revenue sharing, with over 90 programs already using it. From budgeting and contracting to payments and tax management, Teamworks GM brings structure to the chaos and empowers departments to make confident, compliant decisions.
In a recent webinar, Kevin Barefoot and Sean Kelly walked through how Teamworks General Manager and Teamworks Wallet work together to streamline rev share budgeting, contracting, and payments. Watch the full webinar here.
Why GM? Because the Game Has Changed
The industry has moved into a structured revenue-sharing model, with schools opting into the House settlement at a pace that exceeded expectations, and now the focus shifts to navigating the new operational demands it brings. Athletic departments must now handle:
- Roster planning and budgeting across multiple compensation streams
- Contracting and payment approval workflows
- Coordination with new compliance systems like CAPS
- Reporting and oversight to remain within budget caps
- Tax documentation for both U.S. and international athletes
Teamworks General Manager is the only platform designed from the ground up to manage all of this in one place.
From Strategy to Payment: How GM Covers the Full Lifecycle
Budgeting – Allocate funds by sport and revenue source, run roster scenarios, project compensation, and track against live caps all in one place. Nearly 2,000 athlete contracts and over $500M have already been modeled in GM.
Contracting – Generate and manage athlete agreements at scale with customizable templates, pre-filled values, digital signatures, and centralized dashboards, streamlining what used to live in disconnected systems.
Payments & Wallet – Once contracts are signed, payment schedules flow directly into Wallet, delivering secure distribution, compliance-ready reporting, and financial management tools for athletes. With features like automated tax reserves, debit cards, and real-time tracking, Wallet ensures transparency and empowerment for both admins and athletes.
Tax Management That Covers Everyone
With GM and Wallet, schools no longer need separate solutions or manual processes to manage tax compliance for international athletes. In partnership with Sprintax, Teamworks acts as the withholding and reporting partner, remitting taxes to the appropriate jurisdiction and providing the necessary documentation. That means full coverage and compliance—no scrambling, no gaps.
