Compliance Staff Bios

Dan Trump is the Terrapins' new associate athletics director for compliance, having joined the staff on March 1, 2006. In that role, Trump is the senior-level manager in NCAA compliance and certification matters related to recruiting, eligibility, financial aid and rules education.

He came to Maryland from the Patriot League, where he served as the Associate Executive Director for Sport Management and Governance. In that role, Trump supervised the governance and management of the League's 23 sports, oversaw the League's compliance program and contributed to championship administration. Prior to his stint at the Patriot League, Trump was the Associate Athletics Director for Compliance at Oregon State University.

Originally from Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Trump is a 1992 graduate of the University of California at Berkeley. During his baseball playing career, Trump was a catcher and four-year letter-winner for the Golden Bears. He was a member of two College World Series teams while at Cal and served as team captain during his senior season.

In 1992, Trump joined the staff at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles as the Athletic Ticket Manager and Facilities Director. In his second year at LMU, he added responsibilities as assistant baseball coach for the Lions.

He left Loyola Marymount in 1994 to pursue his master's degree at Central Michigan University, where he also volunteered as the coordinator for the Michigan Special Olympics, with responsibility of recruiting, scheduling and housing more than 400 volunteers. After an internship at California, Trump returned to Loyola Marymount as the Athletic Promotions Coordinator/Ticket Manager. He was promoted to Assistant Athletics Director/Compliance Coordinator in 1997 and served in that role for more than two years before accepting his position at Oregon State University in January 2000.

Cody Gambler joined the Maryland Compliance staff in August of 2010 after performing an internship with Colorado State University Athletics Compliance during the 2009-2010 academic year. Cody's key responsibilities include monitoring all aspects of recruiting, updating and releasing the monthly compliance newsletter: The InTERPreter, assisting with the Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund, and tracking initial eligibility.

Cody graduated from Alvernia University in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology. He went on to receive his master's degree in Sports Management from California University of Pennsylvania in 2009. While at Alvernia, Cody was a four-year member of the Men's Soccer team where he earned the honors of captain during his junior and senior seasons. He was also selected to the Hampden-Sydney Tournament Team, the Ciacella Classic Tournament Team, and to the All-Pennsylvania Athletic Conference first team as a midfielder over his final two seasons.
