Compliance is the buying group for compliance software, eligibility and roster-management platforms, NIL disclosure tools and education providers. Typical titles in this group: Associate AD for Compliance; Director of Compliance & Eligibility; Compliance Coordinator. Whistle customers filter these positions by conference, school, state and sport, see each person's name, title and contact details where the directory publishes them, and get an alert when one of the positions changes hands.
Positions are counted when the published job title matches the compliance pattern (and not an exclusion such as student, intern or graduate assistant); the same rule produces the counts and the change tallies.
Change counts compare successive reads of each school's official directory; a school's first extraction and any day on which 25% or more of a roster appears or disappears at once (a re-read, not turnover) are excluded. This page is published when at least 3 covered Ivy League schools have the function and they list at least 10 positions between them; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes.
