SAAC
The 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. 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. The information that follows will assist you in understanding how the network of SAACs, from individual campus committees to the conference and/or national committees, interact and support one another to shape intercollegiate athletics policy and enhance the student-athlete experience.
During Alumni Weekend 2011, the SAAC raised its voice initiated a campus-wide effort to promote awareness of the treatment of breast cancer.
A large number of campus organizations sold black T-shirts all week, with the proceeds going to two cancer-fighting entities. The idea was for all to wear the T-shirts and form a "Black Out" at the weekend's activities, in support of the program.
The idea was a huge success, and there was a special ceremony during the Trinity women's soccer game Oct. 7 with Rhodes College. Checks totaling $18,000 were presented to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and to Texas Wings, an organization which provides low-cost or no-cost mammograms to uninsured women.
