Peoria, Ill. -- Bradley University's Braves Council, comprised of representatives from each of the 15 athletics teams, placed third nationally in both the 2022 and 2023 NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Video Contest. 

The mission of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by protecting a student-athlete well-being, fostering a positive student-athlete image and inclusive student-athlete environment, and promoting student-athlete engagement at the national conference and local levels. 

Every year, the NCAA Division I SAAC hosts a video contest for member institutions on a specific topic. In 2022, Braves Council showcased a "Stronger Together" video. This year, student-athletes were asked to submit how the student-athlete body engages in "commUNITY" through campus involvement, local service, volunteerism, etc.
