2025-26 Student-Athlete Handbook

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee provides the opportunity for student-athletes to have a voice in addressing issues and concerns related to their circumstances at the institution.  The SAAC also serves as a means of communication among student-athletes, coaches and athletics administrators on issues relating to the student-athlete experience including the promotion of individual growth and education through sports participation.

Functions of the SAAC: 

• Promote communication between athletics administration and student-athletes.     
• Disseminate information.     
• Provide feedback and insight into athletics department issues.     
• Generate a student-athlete voice within the campus athletics department formulation of policies.     
• Build a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams.     
• Solicit student-athlete responses to proposed conference and NCAA legislation.     
• Organize community service efforts.     
• Create a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees (e.g., student government).     
• Promote a positive student-athlete image on campus.
