7/16/2019 9:19:00 AM | Men's Basketball, H.A.L.L. Program
INDIANAPOLIS - Seton Hall men's basketball rising senior Romaro Gill (St. Thomas, Jamaica) was a representative for Seton Hall and the BIG EAST conference at the annual NCAA National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) meeting this past weekend at the NCAA's headquarters. Gill is the first Seton Hall student-athlete to be selected to represent the BIG EAST at this national meeting.
Gill and the other attendees had three days of meetings that included updates from the NCAA national office, 2019-20 SAAC priorities, discussions about recruiting and transferring, SAAC feedback on the legislative process, reports from each conference representative on conference/school initiatives and more.Â
"It's an honor to represent your entire conference, that is a big role," said Gill. "I felt great being there, although at first I was nervous since I did not know what to expect. It was a great feeling being able to represent the BIG EAST and not just Seton Hall, but all the other schools. I would like to inform more people about it and tell them it is a good thing to get involved. You get to meet a lot of big people within the NCAA and get to learn where the decisions are coming from. It is a good thing to be a part of that. They want to hear the student-athlete voice."
Gill was also placed on the SAAC Men's Basketball Oversight Committee, where he will continue to offer his advice on the current legislation and subjects of interest among his sport for the NCAA.
This is the second time this year Gill has been a representative for the BIG EAST in providing feedback as a student-athlete to the NCAA, as he was selected to the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum in April.
