Northern California Athletic Conference

[edit] History
The NCAC was founded in 1925 by its charter member schools: Fresno State University, Saint Mary’s, California Davis, University of Nevada, Reno, and San Jose State, and the University of the Pacific. Shortly after World War II, all of these charter members, with the exception of California Davis, would leave for other conferences, to be replaced by San Francisco State University, Sacramento State University, Hayward State, Southern Oregon, Sonoma State and Chico State. During the 1990s, each of the universities associated with the California State system was forced to disband their football teams with the exception of Humboldt, and the conference was disbanded.
