Method

A school is listed when its public athletics website, a vendor partner page, a job posting or a staff title references TicketReturn 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.

This page is published when at least 2 covered Southland schools use the vendor; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes. The conference's own page is Southland Athletics Staff Directory; every TicketReturn school nationally is on Which colleges use TicketReturn?.
