“As we celebrate the 75th anniversary season of the PSAC, we are proud to honor 300 individuals whose dedication, talent, and impact have shaped our rich legacy," said PSAC Commissioner Steve Murray. "These athletes, coaches, and administrators represent the very best of what the conference stands for—excellence, integrity, and the enduring power of collegiate athletics. Their contributions have helped define our past and will continue to inspire our future.”

The PSAC was founded on March 11, 1951, and comprised 14 institutions as the Pennsylvania State Teachers College Athletic Conference (PSTCAC). Since then, it has grown into one of the largest conferences in the NCAA across all three divisions.
 
The conference also released a video celebrating its 75th anniversary season that focuses on the history and formation of the PSAC:
