College Sports Communicators
College Sports Communicators is the premier 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/education, recognition and advocacy for its 4,400 members.
Founded in 1957 as the College Sports Information Directors of America, the organization rebranded in 2022 to position itself as a more inclusive organization for communicators in all types of roles and to lead an industry change where strategic and creative professionals are more aligned.
CSC’s signature work includes the annual CSC Unite convention each June and the administration of the prestigious Academic All-America® program and Hall of Fame. Since 1952, more than 42,000 of the world’s most elite student-athletes have been recognized with Academic All-America status in all sports.

Natalie Rigatuso | NAIA SIDA Spotlight
In the December edition of our 2024-25 NAIA SIDA Spotlight series, we visited with Grand View's Natalie Rigatuso. Natalie discussed her time as a student-athlete on the women's basketball team for the Vikings, before transitioning to a student-worker and ultimately the full-time Head SID. She also talked about the special relationship she has with her brother Noah, who plays on the men's basketball team at fellow Heart institution Baker University.
