San Joaquin Delta backed its alumni total with a strong .683 win percentage, while Sacramento City’s record (.535) was more modest — showing that matching alumni totals don’t always come with matching season performance. Modesto, meanwhile, posted the conference’s best win percentage (.717) despite ranking fourth in alumni.

How These Rankings Are Calculated

Each college’s “Overall” number is a count of alumni currently active on four-year rosters — NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA — as of the 2026 reporting period. This is a cumulative, point-in-time snapshot of where a program’s alumni are playing now, not a measure of how many players transferred out during the current season.
