Northern California Athletic Conference

The Northern California Athletic Conference was a Division II college athletic association that was founded as the Far Western Conference in 1925. The conference changed its name to Northern California Athletic Conference in 1982-1983 school year. In the Fall of 1998, most member schools of what had been the country's only non-scholarship NCAA Division II league combined with either the California Collegiate Athletic Association or the Pacific West Conference and began granting athletic scholarships.
