BROOKLYN COLLEGE–A referendum passed dictating that all Brooklyn College athletes are now responsible for the purchasing of their own footwear for their sport for the fall 2024 semester. The Brooklyn College Student Athlete Advisory Committee voted to no longer provide shoes for all athletic teams that would require them.
SAAC’s main function is to “provide insight on the student-athlete experience,” according to CUNY Athletics mission statement, and is made up of student athletes. SAAC has a role in the rules and regulations regarding student athletes so that athletes get a say in their experience, just as their coaches and directors do. All referendums then go through BC Athletics Department Director Eric Smiles.
