Jay Johnson’s wife, Maureen Marshall, originally from South Bend, Indiana, was a passionate Notre Dame fan since childhood. During her time in the early 2000s in Arizona, she participated in soccer.

She even successfully passed the Indiana bar exam and started working at a law firm where she worked for eight months.

She later relocated to Salt Lake City and eventually secured a position at Utah Valley State as a compliance coordinator and academic coordinator.

Marshall moved to Oklahoma after her time in Utah. In 2011, she took on the responsibility of overseeing the compliance department at the University of Nevada, Wolf Pack.

Maureen is thankful for discovering her calling in compliance. Initially, she didn’t anticipate staying long-term when she landed her job at Utah Valley State.

She also didn’t expect it to be enjoyable as it was just a way to earn money at the time. However, her perspective has changed since then.

Nevada’s Top Compliance Officer

Marshall was an important person at Nevada University who makes sure the Wolf Pack follows the rules set by the NCAA.

She served as a crucial figure on campus, championing the welfare of student-athletes, a role acknowledged and praised by former Wolf Pack football coach Brian Polian, who refers to her as “the single-biggest advocate on our campus for our student-athletes.”
