Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal has accepted the role of general manager for Sacramento State’s men’s basketball program under new head coach Mike Bibby, following the recent addition of his son, Shaqir O’Neal, to the team. This move comes as Sacramento State aims to enhance its athletic profile, after a challenging season where they finished 7-25 and have never reached the NCAA Tournament since becoming a Division I program. O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion and current TNT analyst, joins a trend of high-profile athletes stepping into college management roles.
