The Big West Conference (BWC) is a mid-major collegiate athletic conference that is classified with NCAADivision I. When the conference began in 1969, its name was the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA). After nineteen years, in 1988, its name was changed to the Big West Conference. The conference stopped sponsoring college football after the 2000 season.
History
Creation of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association
Four of these charter members (Cal State Los Angeles, Fresno State, Long Beach State, and San Diego State) had previously been members of the nation's premier Division II conference, the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). After capturing multiple national championships, the members sought a higher level of play, which could be found within the university ranks. Charter football member Pacific and charter all-sports members San Jose State and UC Santa Barbara had also been CCAA members in the past, but had moved to the West Coast Athletic Conference (now West Coast Conference) before joining the PCAA.

The Rise & Fall of the Western Athletic Conference
The Western Athletic Conference was home to some of College Football’s greatest small school stories in the modern era. We saw BYU in 1984 win the National Championship with a 13-0 finish, Hawai’i make it all the way to the Sugar Bowl in 2007 following an undefeated regular season, and the rise of Boise State whose dominance spanned for years. From upsetting Oklahoma to the Kellen Moore led Broncos, these teams were among the best of the small schools in the entire country. And who could forget College Football’s best stadium in Idaho’s Kibbie Dome. You likely picked a school from the WAC in your NCAA Dynasties because all of these schools had potential and were just fun programs. For a while, this Conference was one that housed good College athletic programs, and was arguably the best out...

For a while, this Conference was one that housed good College athletic programs, and was arguably the best outside of the Power 5. However, a series of moves changed the tide of the Conference all together, and by the 2014 season, it had ceased to play Football altogether. While they plan to bring the sport back amongst new members, this was a Conference that accomplished a lot with a little, and soon vanished. So, what happened to the Western Athletic Conference? In today’s video, we will be looking into their rise to prominence, the fall that led to them stopping football period, and the outlook for the future.
