Shaquille O'Neal has become the general manager of Sacramento State’s men’s basketball program, confirmed by officials. This voluntary role comes as the team aims for improvements under new head coach Mike Bibby, following a dismal 7-25 season. O'Neal’s involvement aligns with a broader trend in college sports, enabling prominent figures to oversee program spending due to recent NIL legislation. Sacramento State is also pursuing enhancements for its football program, seeking to elevate from FCS to the top-tier FBS with new funding and facility investments.
O'Neal will oversee a program that added his son, Shaqir, after hiring former Sacramento King point guard Mike Bibby as head coach.
Sacramento State has long had eyes on making headlines in the sports scene, hoping to upgrade from FCS to top-tier FBS.
