What is it? The Division I National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) would like to invite all Division I NCAA institutions to create a video showcasing the theme of “The Power of SAAC."

As the collegiate athletics landscape continues to change on multiple fronts, the power of SAAC and your own student-athlete voice is more important than ever. In this year's video contest, we would love to see how your institutional SAAC uses its platform and voice for change. Focusing on areas of change within mental health best practices, student-athlete voice, or community engagement, how have you changed the status quo? What legacy are you building in this ever-changing environment of the student-athlete experience?

What to do? Get started now on creating your "The Power of SAAC" video! Video submissions will be evaluated on the effectiveness of the message, creativity, quality, and ability to demonstrate your SAAC initiatives. We want to emphasize that we are looking for original content centered around "The Power of SAAC."    

Deadline for Video Submission:  January 22, 2024

Winner will be Announced:  January 26, 2024
