After receiving valuable feedback from current users on the Basepath General Manager platform, originally released in July 2024, including several universities and other Basepath partners, the tool has been upgraded to better meet the needs of athletic departments.
The GM tool designed to streamline roster management and monitor teamwide budgets has been fully adopted by multiple Basepath partners since its release.
Contract Operations Integration
For the first time, the GM tool will integrate contract and payment data, allowing seamless management of rosters, budgets, and analytics alongside contract operations. This provides users with a comprehensive view of both athletic and financial aspects in one platform, streamlining decision-making and management.
Enhanced User Permissions
The update introduces improved user permission capabilities, allowing more precise control over system access. This includes a two-tiered split between GM operations and standard collective operations, as well as the ability to designate permissions by department or team, offering greater customization and security for users at all levels.
Depth Chart Improvements and Custom Player Tags
The updated GM tool also includes enhancements to the depth chart functionality, along with the ability to create unlimited custom player tags. Users can assign multiple tags per player, giving them more flexibility in organizing and analyzing their rosters. Tags can now be color-coded and will appear next to players in both the roster table and depth chart views, making it easy to quickly identify tagged players, especially in the depth chart view. Additionally, you can now select key values on the new analytics graphs and tables for deeper analysis. This allows you to analyze budgets and spending across categories like position groups, tags, graduation year, or performance rating. Previously, the only key value available was position group, and it was limited to the roster and depth chart views, without graphical representation.
Expanded Analytics
New analytics features are being introduced, providing users with the option to view budget and spend data in either table or chart formats. This improved visualization will help users better assess spending patterns and make data-driven decisions.
With these updates, Basepath continues to help athletic departments and collectives manage their operations with precision and ease.
“These updates are a direct response to the real-world challenges athletic departments face today,” said Thomas Thomas Jr., Co-Founder and CEO of Basepath. “Our partners have given us feedback, and we’ve responded with tools that improve efficiency and provide a clearer picture of how teams can build for success, both on the field and financially.”
Thomas continued “With these latest enhancements to our GM tool, we’re providing athletic departments with even more precision and control in managing their NIL operations.”
The Basepath GM tool allows for multiple budget and roster management features, giving permissions to both GMs and ADs to work together seamlessly within one integrated platform. This ensures that all stakeholders have visibility and control over their respective areas of responsibility.
For ADs, department-wide and team-specific budget and spend analytics provide a comprehensive overview of financial health, ensuring every dollar is used efficiently. These insights help maintain oversight over all teams while providing the flexibility to analyze individual team spending and performance.
This suite of features ensures that everyone, from GMs to ADs, can make smarter, data-driven decisions that align with long-term financial and athletic goals. With these new updates, the Basepath GM tool continues to set the standard for NIL management in college athletics, giving teams the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing industry while keeping an eye on both short-term performance and long-term financial health.
