Welcome to the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Website!
Dear Visitor,
Thank you and Welcome to the Division I National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Home Page!! We are excited that you have decided to take the time to visit our website. Our committee truly hopes that you find our site to be helpful!
To give you a brief background about DI SAAC, we are a committee consisting of 31 Division I Conferences, with one student-athlete representative speaking on behalf of their entire conference body. Our members serve as student-athlete liaisons between the happenings on campus, conference and national levels. Members are selected by the Division I SAAC from a pool of three nominees from each of the represented conferences. The Division I Management Council ratifies the appointment. Each student-athlete serves a two-year term and may be reappointed to a second two-year term. However, the student-athlete may only serve up to one year after exhausting their eligibility.
Each representative is responsible for gathering feedback and reporting out on behalf of their conference, as well as relaying important events, hot topics & educational information to both the campus and conference levels. In addition to relaying information across campuses and conferences, DI SAAC speaks on the behalf of the entire DI student-athlete body throughout the NCAA governance structure. Currently, one National DI SAAC representative sits on each of the NCAA sub-committees, in order to provide the student-athlete perspective on certain topics. In addition, the DI SAAC Chair and Vice Chair are currently members of the DI Management Council, in order to provided feedback and input on legislation, governance concerns, and membership decisions. It is through these two mechanisms that NCAA Division I student-athletes offer input and assist in shaping the proposed legislation and other policies by which their division is governed.
The DI National SAAC works very hard to represent the voice of the student-athlete. Our committee takes pride in the well being of all student-athletes, and we hope that our website will serve as a resource for everyone.
Thank you for stopping by, and we hope you enjoy your visit to our website!
Sincerely,
DI SAAC
