## 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 Varsity Network?**

85 of the 1,098 NCAA athletic departments Whistle covers (8%) as of 27 Oct 2026.

**Which Division I schools use Varsity Network?**

Boise State University, Bowling Green State University, California State University, Bakersfield, College of the Holy Cross, Colorado State University, Davidson College, Drake University, Duke University, Eastern Michigan University, Eastern Washington University, Elon University, Gonzaga University, Illinois State University, Iowa State University, Jackson State University, and 64 more listed above.

**How does Whistle know a school uses Varsity Network?**

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](https://gowhistle.io/remove-my-info).

Selling against Varsity Network, or integrating with it? [Whistle](https://gowhistle.io/pricing) gives you the current streaming contacts at each of these schools, and tells you the moment someone new takes over.
