The student-athlete advisory council (SAAC) is a council made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience.

The five primary purposes of SAAC include: to generate a student-athlete voice within the institution, solicit student-athlete response to proposed NCAA legislation, suggest potential NCAA legislation, organize community service efforts, and create a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide orconference-wide committees.
