SAAC
Student Athlete Advisory Committee
What is SAAC?
SAAC is the voice of the student athlete.
Student-athletes have a voice in the NCAA through advisory committees at the campus, conference and national level. Each committee is made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience and offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on campus.
Meetings are held every other Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
