Facilities & event operations is the buying group for turf, lighting, scoreboard and AV vendors, event-staffing and security providers, facility-management and scheduling software. Typical titles in this group: Director of Athletic Facilities; Assistant AD for Event Management; Game Operations Coordinator; Grounds Manager. 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 facilities & event operations 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 South Atlantic schools have the function and they list at least 10 positions between them; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes.

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). Whistle never publishes names, emails or phone numbers on public pages; staff can remove their details at any time at gowhistle.io/remove-my-info.
