The Conference USA Green Out Games initiative was created, in collaboration with the the conference's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), as part of the league-wide focus to raise awareness around mental health as a social and wellness issue amongst student-athletes. Student-athletes, coaches and athletics administration show support for mental health awareness during these select competition dates with dedicated mental health public address announcements, videoboard highlights and conference-issued green shoe laces and green wristbands. CUSA and its member institutions encourage the community to stand up to the stigma of silence surrounding mental health issues and continue the conversation. The league's green ribbon logo supports the message, along with the hashtag #ContinueTheConversation on social platforms.
