Welcome to Indiana University's Student Athletic Board and IU Athletics! SAB has been an integral part of the IU Athletic Department and student body for 48 years. As time has passed, the organization has grown and its responsibilities within the athletic department have continued to expand. SAB was created to give the athletic department a link to the students. In return, SAB provides students the opportunity to be an active part of the planning, organizing, and successful completion of athletic events.
Any IUB student can become a mass member. As a member of SAB, there are many opportunities available for you. The roles of SAB are very diverse. Some of them include selling merchandise on football game days, judging the slam dunk contest at Midnight Madness, organizing campus activities like Homecoming and Parent's Weekend, and simply cheering on the Hoosier teams at a Spirit Section. These are just a few of the tasks that SAB performs to assist the athletic department and all varsity sports.
The organization relies on the dedication of its 15 directors, approximately 100 committee chairpersons and several hundred mass members to carry out its responsibilities. Each varsity sport at IU has a director often called a Redcoat), who is responsible for making sure that that head coach's needs are met. The director also works to increase student and community attendance at athletic events (many of them free with a student ID) by working with the Athletics Marketing Office to promote special events.
If you would like more information about this year's directors, or about each area of SAB, please click on the "SAB areas" link in the upper left corner of this page. We also encourage you to take a few moments and fill out the "Mass Member Application," which automatically signs you up to receive weekly emails containing information about how you can volunteer for SAB. You can also email us at sab@indiana.edu.
The mission of SAB is to be "the spirit behind IU athletics." This is accomplished by encouraging student involvement in all IU athletic events. As an SAB mass member, you become a part of the tremendous history surrounding Indiana University and IU athletics.
Go Hoosiers!!!
