Sacramento State will join the Big West conference as a full member starting with the 2026-27 academic year. Sacramento State informed the Big Sky on Wednesday that it will leave the conference after this year and the Big West announced that the school will become the 12th school in the conference. “The Big West membership and conference staff are excited to welcome Sacramento State to The Big West,” commissioner Dan Butterly said in a statement.
