Student-Athlete Advisory Committee

Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Photo The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is made up of a designated group of student-athletes, assembled to provide insight on the entire student-athlete experience and to offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives.

It's purpose is to:

  • act as a liaison between the university and the Buffalo community by providing information on the unique needs and accomplishments of student-athletes;
  • recognize the student-athlete in the fields of academics and athletics;
  • implement programs that will promote a positive image of intercollegiate athletics and the student-athlete;
  • solicit student-athlete response to proposed NCAA legislation and review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest;
  • serve as community ambassadors of the Division of Athletics and the University at Buffalo;
  • actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA

Committee Structure

  • The commitee is composed of at least two (2) representatives from each varsity team.
  • Representatives must attend the university as a full-time student and be officially listed on a varsity sport squad list.
  • Head coaches and/or team members select representatives at the end of each academic year (no later than April 30). Only three student-athletes per varsity sport team are allowed to serve as committee members.
