Episode Details

Sonoma State is reviving its college sports programs in 2027 after a two-year hiatus, bringing back 10 NCAA Division II teams including soccer, basketball, golf, cross country, softball, and volleyball — while baseball and women’s track remain sidelined. The move follows years of budget cuts, protests, and legal pushback, with former athletes and coaches rallying to restore what they see as vital to campus spirit and student life. With $8 million in state funding secured and plans to blend tuition, fundraising, and sponsorships to cover $6–7 million annually, officials are optimistic the return will reignite campus energy, attract new students, and rebuild Seawolf pride — with expansion on the table if finances hold.
