Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)

The student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is comprised of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience in offering input on rules, regulations and polices that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

Presently, there are separate national SAACs for NCAA Divisions I, II and III. NCAA legislation mandates that all member institutions have SAACs on their respective campuses. Further, NCAA legislation requires that all member conferences have SAACs.

 Softball coach Mariah Ford is the advisor for the Keystone College SAAC. She can be reached at 570-945-8239 or mariah.ford@keystone.edu. 

2021-22 SAAC Representatives

KryJuan Roberson (football) was elected vice president of the Colonial States Athletic Conference SAAC for 2022-23 school year and also represents both Keystone College and the CSAC as a member of the 25-person NCAA Division III SAAC.  Cassidy Fredo (women's volleyball) was picked as Vice-Chair for United East SAAC for 2024-25. 

Get Involved in the Process

You have a voice in the NCAA. Whether you're on campus serving your school's student-athlete advisory committee or taking a greater role with a SAAC at the conference or national level, your voice is instrumental in important topics.

Recent examples include new rules providing Election Day free from athletics activities so you have the time to vote and get involved in your local communities. Student-athletes also had input on new policies that provide immediate access to practice and athletics aid for all incoming freshmen and two-year college transfers regardless of their initial-eligibility status.

Each SAAC is made up of student-athletes like you who provide insight on the campus experience and offer input on the rules and policies that affect their lives. Get started on your campus impacting the issues that are important to you and your teammates. Then use your voice on the larger stage with student groups in your conference or the national SAACs in Division I, II or III.
