The S.A.A.B. is a select group of student-athletes representing each WMU intercollegiate athletic program. The board consists of two student-athletes from each team except football which has three representatives due to the size of the squad. Student-athletes who comprise the board shall meet monthly for approximately one hour with athletic administrators to discuss topics pertaining to intercollegiate athletics. Student-athletes will serve for an academic year.
The members of S.A.A.B. will promote their team’s involvement in community activities and provide a student-athlete perspective regarding NCAA and academic issues. Participants will aid in a compliance function by ensuring student-athlete rule awareness and assisting in the dissemination of information. They are also expected to serve as an advocacy body for equity issues and student-athlete welfare.
