HOUSTON, Texas –– As part of The American Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Pow6rful Minds Campaign, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane Football team will be sporting green in the form of green ribbon helmet stickers on student-athletes and green ribbon pins on the coaching staff in tonight's road game at Houston
The night lands in the midst of Mental Health Awareness Week, Oct. 1-7, as SAAC seeks to improve awareness of mental health issues and resources available to student-athletes with the goal of ending the stigma related to seeking help and promoting success through a healthy, powerful mind.
Green, the color of mental health awareness nationally, will be seen by American fans during designated athletic contests throughout the school year and the Conference's #Pow6rfulMinds hashtag will be prominently used on all of its social media accounts. The initiative was started by The American SAAC in the fall 2017 with the help of each institutional SAAC.
