SAAC
A Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and polices that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses.
NCAA legislation mandates that all member institutions have SAACs on their respective campuses. Each Division I member institution SAAC chapter provides representation at the conference’s level. The conference SAAC then provides representation on the national SAAC level.
Mission Statement of the National SAAC
