WHAT IS SAAC?
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a leadership group consisting of student-athletes representing all of Benedictine University's varsity sports. The Benedictine University SAAC provides insight on the student-athlete experience and offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that effect student-athletes' lives. SAAC members serve as a conduit of communication among student-athletes, coaches and athletic administrators in an effort to improve the student-athlete experience and promote growth and education through sports participation.

Presently, there are separate national SAAC's for NCAA Division I, II and III institutions. NCAA legislation mandates that all member institutions have SACC's on their respective campuses. Further, NCAA legislation requires that all member conferences have SAAC's.
