College Sports Communicators

College Sports Communicators (CSC) is a membership association for all strategic, creative and digital professionals working in intercollegiate athletics across all levels for colleges, universities and conferences across the United States and Canada. CSC provides year-round leadership, community, professional development, recognition and advocacy for its more than 4,100 members. The organization focused primarily on sports information directors before expanding during the 2022-23 academic year.

CSC offers awards, scholarships, and grants in support of its members and prospective members in the college sports communications industry.

Founded in 1957 as the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), the organization rebranded in 2022. CSC hosts an annual convention each June called CSC Unite. It also operates the Academic All-America® program and Hall of Fame.

Since 1952, more than 40,000 student-athletes have been recognized with Academic All-America status in all sports (through 2022-23). CSC recognizes male and female student-athletes as Academic All-Americans in Divisions I, II, and III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)—covering all NCAA championship sports—as well as student-athletes from the NAIA, NJCAA, and other Two-Year Colleges and Canadian Institutions.
