BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Feb. 8, 2024) —– Twenty-five members of the Southeastern Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) will gather for an annual meeting Friday and Saturday at the SEC offices in Birmingham.
The meeting will serve as an opportunity for the student-athletes to engage with campus leaders and conference office staff. Along with Student-Athlete Leadership Councils for football and men’s and women’s basketball, SAAC provides a conduit of communication to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience, student-athlete wellness and playing rules.
The SEC Football Leadership Council conducted its two-day meeting last weekend, and the Basketball Leadership Councils met during the fall. A joint meeting with SAAC and the Leadership Councils are held during the summer.
Agenda items for the SEC SAAC meeting include a conversation with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, a presentation from Podium X to provide the student-athletes with valuable tools to help build their resumes and tell their personal, athletic, and professional story through an online platform, a review of NCAA and SEC legislative items, and a discussion on SAAC campus programming. The group will also hear an update from the NCAA Division I SAAC Executive Board and have a conversation with SEC Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Katie O’Neal.
