About College Sports Communicators 70th Anniversary
College Sports Communicators celebrates its 70th year as a professional organization in 2026-27 after originally forming in August of 1957 as the College Sports Information Directors of America. CSC's roots trace back to the 1930s when athletic communicators were members of the Sports Section of the American College Public Relations Association.
That group's leaders saw the need for an independent organization for the young but flourishing profession. Today, CSC boasts an annual membership of nearly 5,000.
