BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Men's and women's basketball student-athletes, Babatunde Akingbola and Honesty Scott-Grayson, will represent Auburn at this year's Southeastern Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Leadership Council to be held at the SEC offices on Sept. 16-17.
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.
This is the second year for Akingbola, a senior center, to participate on the council, while Scott-Grayson, a redshirt senior guard, is in her first year.
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 February.
