Collaboration brings compliance-ready systems, financial literacy education, and secure revenue distribution to Gael student-athletes.

MORAGA, Calif., Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a move that reflects both foresight and care, Saint Mary's College has partnered with Scout, a leading financial technology company designed specifically for athletes, to launch a comprehensive NIL and financial education program.

The partnership will give Saint Mary's Athletics access to Scout's complete platform, including customized revenue-share distribution, cap management, personalized financial literacy training, and a secure player wallet app. But more importantly, it will bring hands-on collaboration with the Scout team — helping Saint Mary's leaders build a scalable, compliance-first NIL infrastructure that reflects the college's mission and values.

"At Saint Mary's, we always strive to be intentional," said Mike Matoso, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. "Scout brings us not only technology, but trusted guidance and a partner who understands the importance of building systems with integrity. This is about doing right by our student-athletes, today and into the future."

Maurisa Dominguez, Associate AD for Compliance, added: "This partnership helps us simplify the complex. With Scout, we're able to support our athletes' financial success while maintaining clear, structured, and fully compliant systems that align with NCAA guidelines and our institutional mission."

"Saint Mary's is taking a thoughtful, principled approach to NIL," said Michael Haddix, CEO and Founder of Scout. "They're not just adopting a platform — they're building a framework that puts their athletes first, while staying true to the institution's values. We're proud to support that mission with tools, strategy, and long-term partnership."

"We look at NIL differently at Scout — for us, it means Name, Image… Lifetime."
