CSC 360 began as a printed quarterly magazine (CoSIDA 360 Magazine) launched during the 2015-16 school year. The Fall 2020 issue was the last issue to be printed. Two issues were produced in 2021 (Winter 2021, Spring 2021) in an online format only before the decision was made to discontinue the print magazine. Beginning in September 2021 through the final issue in October 2023, 360 was delivered digitally as a monthly member email and on CollegeSportsCommunicators.com.

360's aim was to celebrate telling our members' stories, to educate our members, and to advocate for the profession and its professionals. It featured monthly stories on members and relevant topics, and included an important look at the month ahead.
