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 MAC schools have the function and they list at least 10 positions between them; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes. ## Frequently asked questions **How many compliance staff work in the MAC?** 28 current positions across 13 covered MAC athletic departments as of 3 Nov 2026; Ohio University lists the most (5). **Which MAC school has the largest compliance staff?** Ohio University, with 5 compliance staff positions out of 149 tracked positions. **How much turnover is there in MAC compliance roles?** 4 changes in the last 90 days: 0 hires, 2 departures, 2 title changes, after excluding first reads and same-day re-reads. **Where does this staff data come from?** From the staff directories athletic departments publish on their official websites, read automatically on a rolling schedule (NCAA Division I roughly weekly, Division II and III every three to four weeks).
