CWU STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC)
 

What is SAAC?
A Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is a committee comprised of student-athletes who've volunteered their time to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institutions campuses. Presently, there are separate national SAACs for NCAA Divisions I, II and III. NCAA legislation mandates that all member institutions have SAACs on their respective campuses. Further, NCAA legislation requires that all member conferences have SAACs.
 
Purpose
The purpose of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee may vary across conferences and institutions. However, the following five points reflect the primary purposes of SAAC and should serve as a guideline when developing the SAAC's strategic plan.

• Create a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide or conference-wide committees
• Generate a student-athlete voice within the institution
• Suggest potential NCAA legislation
• Solicit student-athlete response to proposed NCAA legislation
• Organize community service efforts
