Method

A school is listed when its public athletics website, a vendor partner page, a job posting or a staff title references the vendor with at least medium confidence. Detection is automated and re-run as directories refresh: absence means not detected, not not used, and contracts change, so confirm with the department before relying on a single listing.

Frequently asked questions

How many colleges use JumpForward?

28 of the 1,098 NCAA athletic departments Whistle covers (3%) as of 27 Oct 2026.

How does Whistle know a school uses JumpForward?

From vendor-specific links and markup on the department's own website (ticket, schedule and roster pages), vendor partner lists, job postings and staff titles. Only medium- or high-confidence matches are shown.

Where does this technology 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). 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.
