STUDENT-ATHLETIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC)

The Division II Student-Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) consists of members who serve as student-athlete liaisons between the happenings on campus, conference and national levels.  Each representative is responsible for gathering feedback and reporting out on behalf of their conference and partner conference, as well as relaying important events, hot topics and educational information to both the campus and conference levels. In addition to relaying information across campuses and conferences, DII SAAC speaks on the behalf of the entire DII student-athlete body throughout the NCAA governance structure.

Currently, one representative from the DII National SAAC may sit on a multitude of Division II and association-wide committees in order to provide the student-athlete perspective on related issues. It is through these mechanisms that the NCAA Division II student-athlete offer input to assist in shaping the proposed legislation and other policies by which their division is governed.
