CoSIDA Corner Column (from NACDA's Athletics Administration Magazine)

The 2021-13 academic year marks the fourth year that CoSIDA leaders will contribute to the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Athletics Administration Magazine.

Beginning with the 2009-10 academic year and with its new partnership with NACDA, the CoSIDA leadership was invited to contribute to each issue of the NACDA Athletics Administration Magazine. In October of 2009, then-CoSIDA President Justin Doherty penned the first "CoSIDA Column."

Each Athletics Administration issue is sent to more than 10,000 university and athletics administrators, with CoSIDA's voice, thoughts and expertise shared with these key constituents. Athletics Administration Magazine is published each October, November, December, February, March, April, June and August.
