College athletics is undergoing its most significant financial transformation in decades, and programs across the country are turning to Teamworks General Manager (GM) to build the strategic infrastructure needed to compete and thrive in this new era. High Point University is expanding its partnership with Teamworks by adopting General Manager as a core component of its athletics operations, positioning the Panthers to lead through the rapidly evolving landscape of collegiate athletics rather than simply react to it.

While basic regulatory tools are emerging industry-wide, Teamworks GM enables programs to turn mandatory processes into strategic levers from day one. For High Point, this strategic move strengthens their approach to budget management, revenue-sharing, and roster planning while streamlining processes and enhancing collaboration across all programs.

“High Point University is proud to expand its partnership with Teamworks by adopting the General Manager platform as a core component of our athletics operations,” said Drew Sanchez, Deputy Athletic Director at HPU. “This strategic move will strengthen our approach to budget management, revenue-sharing, and roster planning, allowing us to streamline processes and enhance collaboration across all programs. By integrating Teamworks General Manager into our daily operations, High Point University reaffirms its commitment to excellence and innovation in this new era of collegiate athletics.”

Why High Point Selected Teamworks GM

High Point is not simply checking the box for compliance—it’s capitalizing on transformation as part of its commitment to excellence and innovation in this new era of collegiate athletics. The Panthers recognize this evolution as a strategic opportunity to differentiate their program through early adoption of innovative solutions. Rather than deploying siloed monitoring systems, High Point invested in Teamworks GM as a unified solution for resource allocation that enables more effective planning and data-driven decision making.

“This platform provides a unified solution for resource allocation, enabling our department to plan more effectively and make data-driven decisions that support the continued success of our student-athletes and teams. High Point University chooses to be extraordinary, and its partnership with Teamworks GM is a testament to that standard,” added Sanchez.

The platform’s full integration with High Point’s existing Teamworks ecosystem ensures seamless data flow and strategic alignment across departments. This comprehensive approach allows the Panthers to be more intentional with how they invest in student-athletes while aligning departmental goals with real-time data insights to build sustainable success across all sports.

The Panthers are building systems and processes that provide the strategic flexibility essential for navigating the evolving collegiate athletics landscape.

“The ability to tailor Teamworks General Manager to our specific operational needs—not just out of the box, but in real time—gives us both flexibility and confidence in our planning”, said HPU Assistant Vice President for Athletic Development, Darren Hill.
