Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the field of college athletics communications. It begins with a brief history of the profession, which includes information on the establishment of the College Sport Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). This leads to a discussion of the job responsibilities professionals (for example, sports information directors) in the field typically assume and the related benefits and challenges commonly associated with such work. The chapter then moves to a discussion of how the field has changed in recent years. Topics include the impact of social media and the changing roles of practitioners as CoSIDA rebrands the profession as being comprised of "strategic communicators for college athletics."
