National SAAC April Meeting Report

... to view the summary of the most recent NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee meeting.

A particular highlight is the discussion about the new "SAAC Associate Members" program:
  • Following the adoption of Amended Proposal No. 2018-3-1 at the 2018 Convention, SAAC worked on plans to implement the new partner conference liaison structure, including developing policies to maximize the impact of the liaisons and effectiveness of the committee.
  • The SAAC voted to call the new liaisons SAAC Associate Members (SAM) and are currently working on policies and procedures that would outline the parameters of their responsibilities. Discussed legislative issues.
  • Because of the legislation's effective date (August 1, 2018), the SAM's earliest participation will be the 2018 fall teleconference, typically held in September or October. Stay tuned for more information on the SAM selection process.
Remember the Iowa Conference will be eligible for one of these SAM spots when Parker Hammel's service on SAAC concludes in January.
