Where Post University Athletics Started
Before Crowded, Post University Athletics managed per diem payments with a process that was as frustrating as it was outdated. Distributing funds to student-athletes—especially during travel—meant wading through layers of manual paperwork, long delays, and unsafe handling of physical cash.
It started with coaches submitting paper requests to Kim Wadman, often forgetting the two-week lead time needed to get the ball rolling.
Last-minute requests were common—“We’re traveling Saturday, I need money for the whole team”—triggering a scramble to push paperwork through.
Kim would then chase down the remote-working finance team to get the check cut. That alone was a challenge, since checks were only processed once per week and required executive signatures to proceed.
Once a check was finally issued, coaches had to find a bank that would cash it—sometimes for amounts as large as $2,000—and then ask for it in small denominations like fives and tens. This became even more burdensome during extended trips like spring break.
Coaches were literally carrying thousands of dollars in cash, distributing it manually under time pressure, and assuming personal risk. The process was inefficient, unsafe, and frequently disrupted travel logistics.
Coaches aren’t paperwork people—they’re focused on getting players on the bus and onto the field. Feeding the team is often an afterthought

Efficient Account Closures
When student-athletes graduate, their accounts can be closed without hassle. Crowded tracks and redeems any unused funds, even down to small remaining balances, ensuring no money is left unaccounted for.
