Does the ICSL compete with the NCAA?

No. ICSL does not interfere with the NCAA regular season or postseason.

ICSL events take place after conference and national championships conclude and are not a competing league.

Will participating in ICSL affect player eligibility?

ICSL is structured to align with NCAA guidelines and is designed to operate after the collegiate season concludes.

ICSL is not a professional league and does not compensate athletes to participation.

Final eligibility decisions remain under the authority of the NCAA and each member institution. ICSL works in coordination with conferences and schools to support compliance and protect student-athletes.

Which sports will the ICSL include?

The ICSL is designed to expand across multiple sports including basketball, football, soccer, baseball, volleyball, and more as the league grows.

Who can participate in the ICSL?

Where will ICSL events take place?

Events will be hosted at select college campuses and major venues, designed to create a championship-style experience.

When will the ICSL officially launch competitions?

Official event announcement, schedules, and host locations will be released publicly once finalized.

How can conferences, schools, or athletes get involved?

Conferences, institutions, and athletes may express interest through the Partner With ICSL page or by contacting the ICSL team directly.

Participation is based on conference partnership, institutional approval, and platform availability. Additional details will be announced as ICSL events and schedules are finalized.

What happens if a selected player enters the transfer portal?

ICSL is a conference-based showcase.

Athletes are selected to represent a specific conference, not as independent participants.

Before ICSL Begins:

If a selected athlete enters the NCAA Transfer Portal before ICSL competition begins and is no longer affiliated with the conference they were selected to represent, their selection may be withdrawn and a replacement athlete may be designated.

If a participating athlete enters the Transfer Portal during competition, ICSL will work in coordination with the athletes institution and conference to determine appropriate next steps.

All transfer decisions and eligibility determinations remain under NCAA and institutional authority.
