A school is listed when its public athletics website, a vendor partner page, a job posting or a staff title references Varsity Network 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 SEC schools use the vendor; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes. The conference's own page is SEC Athletics Staff Directory; every Varsity Network school nationally is on Which colleges use Varsity Network?.

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.
