Northern California Athletic Conference

From BR Bullpen

The Northern California Athletic Conference was a Division II college athletic association that sponsored baseball from 1983 to 1998. 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.

The NCAC was founded as the Far Western Conference in 1925.
