Description: SAAC is the voice of the student athletes. This group of student athletes and their supporters seek input from student athletes and athletic team members in order to address questions and concerns with the Athletic administration and the Athletic Advisory Board. SAAC promotes communication between student-athletes and the athletic administration. We provide feedback and insight into athletics department issues. SAAC generates a student-athlete voice within the campus athletics department formulation of policies. Building a sense of community within athletics, by involving all teams through SAAC events and programming is a main goal of SAAC. NCAA will seek SAAC's Student Athletes to weigh in on proposed conference legislation.
