BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Men's and women's basketball student-athletes Babatunde Akingbola and Kiyae' White will represent Auburn at this year's Southeastern Conference Basketball Leadership Council. The meeting will be conducted Thursday in a virtual format. 

The council consists of one male representative and one female representative from each of the SEC's 14 institutions. The goal of the leadership council is for student-athletes to serve as a conduit of communication from their teams to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience, student-athlete wellness, and to provide feedback on proposed rules governing the SEC and NCAA.
 
The Men's Basketball Leadership Council and the Women's Basketball Leadership Council comprise two components of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council. The third component is the Football Leadership Council, which meets each January.
