Sources: MAC to add Sac State for football in '26

The Mid-American Conference (MAC) has voted to add Sacramento State University as a football-only member starting in the 2026 season, according to sources. The decision was made by the MAC presidents. Sacramento State, currently an FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) program, will become the first FCS school to join the MAC, which is an FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) conference. This move is expected to provide more opportunities for the Hornets' football program and increase the conference's geographical footprint. The addition of Sacramento State is part of the MAC's ongoing efforts to strengthen its football offerings and broaden its reach in the western United States.
