"And problems like this will continue to occur until the administration either allows student-athletes to pre-register for classes or the university builds more classrooms," she said.
The SAAC has proposed a few different types of pre-registration ideas in order to reach the middle ground between the administration and the student-athletes.
"We (SAAC members) have come up with two very good proposals that we think would be able to satisfy both sides," Connerty said.
"The first would be to only allow pre-registration for the student-athletes whose teams are in season during that semester," he said.
The second proposal, if ratified, would allow student-athletes to pre-register for core courses once they declare a major.
With the new proposals and enthusiasm that SAAC and the rest of the athletic student body have put forth, it now rests solely upon the administrative body to decide whether to open negotiations.
