BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Two University of Alabama basketball players will participate in the Southeastern Conference's Men's and Women's Basketball Leadership Council, it was announced by the league office Wednesday. Megan Abrams of the women's basketball team and Tyler Barnes of the men's basketball team will take part in the annual gathering in a virtual format Thursday at 6 p.m. CT.
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 channel 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.
