SAAC stands for which of the following in NCAA governance?

• A. Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
• B. Senior Athlete Advisory Council
• C. Student-Athlete Administrative Committee
• D. Scholastic Athletes Advisory Committee

Answer: (A)

SAAC is the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In NCAA governance, this group brings the voices of student-athletes to the table, representing their interests in policy discussions, rule changes, and initiatives that affect welfare, academics, and the overall student-athlete experience. Members are student-athletes from member schools who share feedback with administrators, conference offices, and NCAA leadership, helping shape decisions that impact competition, eligibility, and support services. The other options don’t match the official name or function: they either describe a different kind of council or use terms not used by the NCAA for this body.
