New Business / Agenda for Tonight’s Meeting

• Spare Change Drive update--Grant & Lauren

• Grant and Lauren not at meeting
• Drive raised $224.74, even without the PA Announcement
• There was not enough help from SAAC members

• What is SAAC?
• Sign Up for Event Helpers

• All members signed up for one event that they are to help with. They will assist the Event Planners as needed and be present the day of the event.
• We were instructed not to sign up with all your teammates.
• If signed up to help with a Spring event without a set date, you may have to adjust if the date becomes a conflict.

• SAAC Polo Shirts

• SAAC members agreed to help fundraise or pay a portion of the cost of the polos.
• Women will receive a “women’s polo.”
• Color= Black

• What do you want SAAC to do this year? Comment Box

• Each member filled out a slip about a positive and a negative from their athletic experience.
• General opinion was that a Comment Box could be beneficial if made available to all student-athletes.

• NCAA Legislation--Text Messaging

• Great group discussion led to some good points of view.
• Division II is considering eliminating the use of text messaging from recruiting practices, just as Division I has done.
• The primary concern with texting as a recruiting tool is the cost involved is a prospective student athlete does not have unlimited texting.
• Some SAAC members said they would prefer to stick to e-mail and letters.
• Seville made the point that for a high school kid, a text from a potential coach could really be influential. It could be used as a great tool.
• Texting would allow a coach to immediately contact a PSA after watching a game, where a phone call would have to fall into allowed times, etc.
• Texting could not be regulated easily.

• Homecoming Parade – try to get a representative their from your team
• Exchange Contact Information with your Co-Event Planners

• Feel free to discuss your planning progress, especially if your event is in the Fall Semester.
• Make some plans to further your planning progress.
