With the expansion announcement this week of the Pac-12 Conference — gutted when longstanding members bolted in recent years for richer television deals in other conferences — there is a push in California’s capital to have Sacramento State added to the 108-year-old league.
Sacramento State as of Friday afternoon has not made a formal statement of an athletics-program realignment, but a new executive committee dubbed “SAC 12” issued a statement Friday. Their aim is to the point: to get the Hornets athletic programs into a league that for decades went by “Conference of Champions,” citing media market size and a legacy of athletic success. Such a move would not happen until the fall of 2026.
The committee includes state Sen. Angelique Ashby, Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen and Sacramento City Councilmember Eric Guerra, along with local business owners and alums. Nguyen and Guerra are Sac State grads, the latter a former student body president.
