What is SAAC?
 SAAC is the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.  Every NCAA member school must have a board of Student Athlete Advisory Committee members, which includes 2-3 athletes from each sport to represent their team and Newman.  SAAC does community service, raises money for Make-A-Wish, votes on proposed legislation for the NCAA membership, and has a voice to help bridge the gap between Athletics and the rest of campus.
