Abstract

This chapter aims to understand how student-athletes create on-campus change both for themselves and other constituents. The voice of the student-athlete is stronger than ever. Therefore, this chapter will explore a short history of student-athlete advocacy as a backdrop to today's influences. Student-athletes utilize two avenues to create change: (1) their position as a student-athlete and (2) the formal Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) for institutional, regional, and national change. Both avenues have effectively realized change in the last decade.
