Welcome to Indiana University's Student Athletic Board! SAB has been an integral part of the IU Athletic Department and student body since 1956. The organization was founded by University President Herman B Wells and Athletic Director Frank Allen. 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 Indiana University 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 fan promotions during Soccer, Volleyball, and Baseball games, organizing campus activities like Homecoming and Parent's Weekend, having fun at our Football student tailgates, 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 16 Directors, approximately 100 Committee Chairs and over 800 Mass Members to carry out its responsibilities. Each varsity sport at IU has a director who is responsible for making sure that the head coach's needs are met. The director also works to increase student and community attendance at athletic events (many of them are free with a student ID) by working with the Athletics Marketing Department to promote special events.

If you would like more information, please visit our website. While you are there, we 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. If you would like to take on more responsibility within SAB and IU Athletics and are interested in becoming a Committee Chair, please email the Director of the area that interests you. For information on each Director and their respective area please visit the "Board of Directors" page. If you have any more questions, please 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!!!
