Bite Down on the Mouthpiece: How Dr. Luke Wood Is Transforming Sac State

This week on The Mark Haney Show, I sat down with Dr. Luke Wood, President of Sacramento State, and I’ll tell you — this conversation will change how you think about higher education.

Dr. Wood isn’t just running a university. He’s rebuilding what college looks like. Under his leadership, Sac State has launched the nation’s first Black Honors College, introduced a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in AI and Business Management, and created Combat U, a one-of-a-kind collegiate pathway into boxing and mixed martial arts in partnership with UFC legend Urijah Faber.

We also talked about entrepreneurship, the future of career opportunities, and how the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship is helping students turn ideas into businesses that fuel Sacramento’s economy.

And of course, we covered the big energy around sports — from the push toward FBS football at Cal Expo to a men’s basketball team now coached by NBA star Mike Bibby (and featuring Shaq’s son on the roster).

Dr. Wood’s philosophy is simple but powerful: “Bite down on the mouthpiece and go.”
That mindset is transforming Sacramento State — and inspiring a new generation of leaders, innovators, and doers.
