FAQs
A Scout is an individual who reports sports data directly from the venue. For example, they might report a touchdown or a fumble during a football game, or a buzzer-beater in Basketball.
To become a Scout, you must be based near a covered college football or basketball team, as you would need to report directly from the venue.
As a Scout, you will be compensated based on the number of games covered each week plus relevant reimbursed expenses.
We pay a base rate of $225 for each completed football game, $175 for basketball. Additionally, we pay a $100 success bonus for each of the first 3 completed games from the venue (total of $300). Taking college football as an example, if you cover 6 games in your first season, you will make 6 x $225 plus $300 bonus = $1,650. If you were to additionally cover college basketball, which can be an expected 15 or so home games, per season you would make a further $2,625.
