NCAA Alignment & Timing

The ICSL (Invitational Collegiate Showcase League) is an independently operated collegiate showcase platform designed to provide additional competitive, exposure, and development opportunities for college athletes.

ICSL events are intentionally structured to align with the NCAA principles and conference schedules. ICSL does not replace, interfere with, or duplicate NCAA regular-season competition, conference championships, or NCAA postseason events.

Event Timing

All ICSL competitions are scheduled after the conclusion of the NCAA regular season and postseason for each participating sport. Events occur durning designate off-season or non-championship periods to avoid conflicts with institutional calendars and NCAA regulations.

• No overlap with NCAA championships

• No disruption to conference schedules

• Respect for institutional compliance frameworks

Expanded Opportunity & National Exposure

Not every elite athlete or strong program receives national visibility during the season. Some teams do not advance to postseason play, some conferences receive less national coverage, and some players simply don’t get the stage their talent deserves.

ICSL helps change that.

ICSL provides a second opportunity for national exposure by bringing top conferences and athletes together after the college season has concluded, allowing deserving players and programs to compete, showcase their ability, and and gain meaningful visibility and structured, NCAA—aligned environment.

Eligibility & Compliance

ICSL participation is voluntary and designed to operate responsibly alongside NCAA standards. ICSL does not require athletes to violate eligibility rules or school polices.

Student-athletes are responsible for confirming participation with their institutional compliance office prior to competing. ICSL welcomes collaboration with compliance departments to ensure clarity as needed.
