Hampton University Athletics

What is S.A.A.C.?
A student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses.


SAAC at a glance:

• Generate a student-athlete voice within the NCAA structure
• Solicit student-athlete responses to proposed NCAA legislation
• Review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest
• Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA
• Promote a positive student-athlete image
• Disseminate information to team members
• Build a sense of community involving all team
