The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, or SAAC, is a committee assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience, meets separately on each of the 12 campuses throughout the year to plan, participate in and facilitate events for the student-athlete community. SAAC also offers input on the policies, rules and regulations that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

Each year, the group meets to discuss the individual campus goals for the upcoming year as well as to strategize and collaborate on conference-wide community service initiatives through #BigWestCares. 

SAAC meets monthly throughout the academic year to help develop and execute each of the designated initiatives.
