ABOUT SAAC

Student-athletes have a voice in the NCAA through advisory committees at the campus, conference, and national level. The #A10SAAC is made up of student-athletes representatives from each A-10 institution that provide insight on the student-athlete experience and offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on campus.

The Atlantic 10 Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) shall serve as a medium of communication through which student-athletes, conference administrators, institutional representatives, NCAA representatives and coaches discuss and take action on issues relating to rules
and regulations, student-athlete welfare and community service. (Atlantic 10 Conference Constitution, Adopted June 2009, Presidents Council)
