Rising to the Moment: Temple SAAC Alters Operations to Maintain Purpose

In the year 2020, the student-athlete voice is stronger than ever. Student-Athletes can see the action that their role models in professional athletics are taking daily through their respective Players Associations.

This has led to the student-athletes pondering the best way they can put their voice, to action. The President of the Temple University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Matt Kristick said "One thing I always hear is that we, as college athletes, need a players association, and I say, we do, it's called SAAC."

Following its NCAA wide establishment in 1989, SAAC has been a platform in which many engaged student-athletes use their voice to enable and advocate for student-athlete well-being.
