TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama Athletics has renewed its partnership with Scout, the financial technology company built for athletes, continuing Scout Academy’s financial education and one-on-one coaching for its student-athletes.
With NIL and revenue sharing putting money in athletes’ hands earlier than ever before, Alabama first brought in Scout Academy to teach its athletes how to manage it, and has now renewed the partnership.
Scout Academy teaches athletes how to handle taxes, savings, and long-term planning. Sessions are led by Scout’s in-house team of CPAs, financial advisors, and coaches, many of whom are former athletes. While on campus, athletes are paired with coaches for personalized, one-on-one guidance unique to each individual’s financial situation.
Alabama athletes also have access to the Scout app, where they prepare and file their taxes, save and invest, form an LLC and manage long-term planning. With 24/7 access to Scout’s support team and a direct line to Scout’s tax and accounting experts, athletes can get help whenever they need it.
“Alabama made financial education part of how it takes care of its athletes, and renewing means they’re keeping it there,” said Michael Haddix Jr., CEO and Founder of Scout. “We’re glad to be back in Tuscaloosa.”
With the renewal, Alabama remains part of a growing roster of athletic departments turning to Scout for long-term athlete education and tax support.
