Kerry Kenny, vice-chair of the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, is blogging from the NCAA Convention in Nashville.

Hello again from Nashville! It has certainly been a busy 24 hours since the last time that I checked in, but hopefully I can catch you up to speed on what happened on the first official day of Convention. The Division I National SAAC began meeting early yesterday morning, and continued through until after 9 last night.

The main agenda item was the continued examination of the legislative proposals in the 2007-08 legislative cycle. Although we had formulated many of our positions at the November meeting, we were charged with providing the membership with our position on several additional proposals dealing with student-athlete well-being. The focus for the remainder of the time was shifted toward the three override proposals. It is our mission as SAAC reps to speak on behalf of those student-athletes that are affected by the proposals and overrides, which is what we will be doing on the Legislative Forum floor on Saturday afternoon.

I am looking forward to this afternoon, when we will participate in the Habitat for Humanity build, where all three SAACs will join forces with administrators and others to help construct a house on site. Until then, enjoy your Friday, and I'll check back in with ya'll tomorrow!

P.S. - I would like to say congrats to my former teammate Bilal Abdullah at Lafayette, who scored his 1,000th point in an overtime win at Princeton on Wednesday night.
