Notes

Iowa State University (ISU) is seeking a Supplier to assist our Athletic Department with processing payments that need to be made to student-athletes under the new revenue-sharing rules established by the NCAA.

The Supplier should also be able to provide record-keeping, reporting and other features associated with the payment processing

ISU would prefer a system that integrates all of these features and is easy for athletes and ISU administrators to use.

Payment parameters:

Payment processing may apply to approximately 400 athletes. Payment amounts may vary in amounts from small dollar transaction payments for reimbursements for travel per diems and reimbursable expenses to larger dollar transactions for contractually agreed to revenue-sharing payments. Transactions are likely to be processed on daily or weekly basis, with certain transactions scheduled on a monthly basis. Payments for all categories of reimbursements and revenue-sharing may amount to $20-$25 million annually

Payments will start 7/1/2025
We will only be paying in USD
All payment funding will be coming from ISU
We currently are only expecting to be paying to US Banks but may need to pay outside the US in the future.
We may be paying non-US citizen athletes
ISU will want the option to have either a mandatory or optional withholding for the athletes (savings account for athletes to pay taxes).
Payments to be electronic in nature (ACH, digital payment card, digital wallet, etc.)
