What is SAAC?
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a student organization
comprised of two or three representatives from each varsity sport program at the
University of Oklahoma.
It is the mission of SAAC to represent OU student-athletes
in a way that: upholds the traditions of the University of Oklahoma, promotes leadership
and communication, and enhances involvement in the campus community.
The committee meets monthly throughout the year and is responsible for things
such as voting on behalf of OU student-athletes on NCAA and Big 12 legislation and
hosting annual events such as Faculty Appreciation Day and "Sooners Got Talent."
SAAC made its mark on school history in creating and implementing the first and only
peer-awarded student-athlete honor, the Sooner Oath Award. This award is given to
one male and one female student-athlete who demonstrate the leadership, sportsmanship,
strong moral character, and Sooner pride found within the Sooner Oath.
