With Sacramento State leaving the Big Sky Conference after the 2025 season, the annual matchup will need to be moved to a non-conference game.
The Hornets would like to continue the rivalry game in 2026, but UC Davis already has a full slate of non-conference matchups in 2026, which include San Diego and SMU on the road and Stetson at home. The Aggies have no interest in canceling those games.
